The secretary of Pope John-Paul II, who is in Azerbaijan now, has stated it today. It is was expected, the Pope himself should have told about the building of the church, but the state of the health of the Catholic church head did not let him finish his speech. The secretariat had to read the rest of the speech of the Pope. John Pail II himself spoke very slowly and in low tones. 82-year-old Pope moved with the help of special cart that was pushed on by the security guards. Today morning after the mess said by John Paul II a group of refugees from Armenia was led to the Pope in order that they told him about "evil deeds" of Armenians. The tired Pope could not speak to them. In the afternoon the Pope left Baku for Sofia.
