The Catholicos of the Great House of Cicilia Aram I addressed a letter of condolences to the King Harald V, Secretary General of World Council of Churches pastor Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit and the people of Norway on the terrorist act on the island of Utoya.

In his letter, Aram I strictly condemned the terrorist act, characterising it as a result of religious intolerance. The Catholicos called for cultivating love, mutual understanding and tolerance in young people.
