On April 21 Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, and Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, visited President Serzh Sarkissian.
Catholicos Aram I has arrived in Armenia to personally congratulate President Sarkissian and express his support. He didn't manage to attend the inauguration ceremony due to some circumstances.
“The Church and the Motherland, the belief and the Armenian nation are a unity within the framework of which we should cooperate,” he underlined.
Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II expressed confidence that the path taken today will undoubtedly yield results in some time, and people will see that concrete steps are being taken to build the Motherland of our wishes and expectations.
According to the President, many things can be done and great results can be achieved, having the support of two Catholicoses at the rear. He highly appreciated the role of the Church in the life of the Armenian people and noted that under the circumstances of absence of statehood for thousand years, the Church assumed some functions of the statehood and preservation of the Armenian national identity.
Noting that the state will continue supporting the consolidation of the Armenian Apostolic Church, President Sarkissian said the Church will remain one of the carriers of the Armenian language and national identity.
The Catholicos of All Armenians and the Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia expressed confidence that Serzh Sarkissian will continue serving the common and supreme interests of the Motherland and our people with great responsibility and devotion. They expressed willingness to support the realization of all the kind initiatives that our President has to move our country forward.
