‘CATHOLICOS OF ARMENIANS DOES NOT RESIST TEMPTATION OF TO SPEAK OF THE GENOCIDE’
His Holiness Karekin II Catholicos of All Armenians is currently in Astana, Kazakhstan, participating in the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. The Supreme Patriarch was to make a report on September 12 titled "Freedom of Faith and Respect to Followers of Other religions". On the final day of the congress on September 14, leaders of religions made a joint statement emphasizing the need "to fight against biased approaches and ignorance".
Informing about the leaders’ statement, Turkish Hurriyet newspaper wrote in September 12 issue that more than 150 journalists covered the works of the Congress, and its end was marked by Karekin II’s "propaganda of the so-called genocide".
"Availing of the right of final speech, Karekin II Catholicos could not resist the temptation of speaking touching upon the genocide issue. ‘Despite the genocide of 1915, persecutions and pursuits, Armenians remain faithful to what they believe,’ he said. Leaders of Orthodox churches as well as Yona Metzger, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, welcomed Catholicos’s speech with applauses.
"The Armenian Catholicos who expresses the mood of the Armenian Diaspora uses every occasion to defend the genocide thesis. In Istanbul a lawsuit was filed against him for insulting Turkish national self-esteem. His meeting with Greek Patriarch Bartholomeos during his Istanbul visit incited lively discussions."
