ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: FAIR PEACE SHOULD BE BORN FROM SACRIFICED BLOOD

PanARMENIAN.Net - "It is one of the most horrible tragedies the humanity ha sever experienced. Today marks such events should never repeat. Fair peace should be born from the sacrificed blood," Vatican Ambassador to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan archbishop Claudio Gugerotti stated in a conversation with journalists in the Memorial to Victims of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. In his words, Vatican's posture over the issue of the Armenian Genocide "remains the same as declared by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Armenia and the meeting with Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II." "It is a statement of two churches, where the Catholic Church expresses attitude to people who have experienced much sorrow." It should be reminded that in 2001 John Paul II officially acknowledged and censured the Armenian Genocide. Answering the question whether new Pope Benedict XVI acknowledges the Genocide, the archbishop said, "Give him some time."
