CATHOLICOS OF ALL ARMENIANS SATISFIED WITH UN ASSISTANCE TO ARMENIA

March 15, 2006
ARKA

At his meeting with UN Representative to Armenia Consuello Vidal Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II expressed his satisfaction with the assistance rendered to Armenia by UN structures.

The sides also discussed the mission and activities of the Holy See of Echmiadzin, the stronghold of the Armenian faith.

The sides broached the issue of destruction of Armenian monuments at an ancient cemetery in Old Juga, Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani side started destroying Armenian khachkars (cross-stones) as far back as 1998. The destruction was stopped after the European countries condemned it. However, the acts of vandalism were resumed in 2003 and later in December 2005.
But what did Consuello Vidal had to say? Does not this reporter think that it is worth reporting?
