    THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA PARTICIPATES IN THE INTERNATIONAL
    CONFERENCE OF RELIGIONS IN DOHA

    The law studies and Islamic research departments of the University of
    Qatar organized the fourth international conference for the dialogue
    of religions in Doha on April 25-27. The conference was held under the
    high sponsorship of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Khalifa Al-Tani.

    More than 135 representatives of the Christian, Muslim and Moses'
    religions from the Arab World, the Middle East, Europe, the United
    States and the Far East participated in the conference entitled
    "the role of religion in the formation of man and society."

    The Catholicosate of Cilicia was represented in the conference by
    Archbishop Sebouh Sarkisian, Primate of the Diocese of Tehran and
    member of the Christian-Muslim Dialogue Committee of the Middle
    East Council of Churches (MECC). Archbishop Sarkisian conveyed the
    greetings of the Armenian Catholicos to the Emir and the organizers
    of the conference.

    The conference's sessions included discussions on globalization,
    religious freedom, education within the family, religious diversity
    and mutual respect, the preservation of nature, human rights and
    recent scientific achievements.

    Archbishop Sarkisian delivered a lecture on "religion and human rights"
    highlighting the God-given status of human rights and the role of
    the Armenian Church in this field. He also spoke about the Armenian
    Genocide and called on Turkey to have the courage to recognize it as
    a historical fact.

    The Archbishop also met with the Armenian community of Qatar and
    delivered a lecture on the Armenian Genocide on April 27. At the end
    of the lecture, the Archbishop answered questions related to the role
    of the Cilician Holy See.
