A delegation from the ADL Lebanon Regional Board, headed by ADL Central Board member and Lebanon Regional Board chairman Doctor Avetis Dakesyan, visited Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia at the Antelias monastery on the morning of 2 May at 9 o’clock.
The delegation conveyed to His Holiness its assessment of the Lebanese parliamentary elections. The Board highly appreciated His Holiness’s stance regarding the parliamentary elections, calling on voters to elect worthy candidates who, through their work, have contributed to the advancement of the community. Issues of concern to the Armenian people were also discussed, such as Lebanon’s economic conditions and the political situation in Armenia and Artsakh.
His Holiness, in turn, commended the ADL’s stance of supporting candidates representing the Armenian traditional parties. In the case of Armenia, the preservation of unity is the greatest guarantee of our success and of overcoming this crisis with the least damage. His Holiness emphasized the importance of consultation among all national structures, between the homeland and the diaspora, before making fateful decisions.
At the end of the meeting, which lasted one hour, the parties pledged to continue communicating in order to overcome all the obstacles facing our people.
