"Decrease of tensions in Armenia is expected by everyone", said All-Armenia Catholicos Garegin the Second at the meeting with PACE chairman Luis Maria de Puig, according to the press chancellery of the Saint Echmiadzin.
"Both representatives of powers and opposition are progenies of the Armenian church and the Armenian church is concerned with the destiny of each Armenian", said the Catholicos.
In turn, de Puig stressed special importance of the role of Armenian Catholicos in creation of the reconciliation atmosphere within the society.
Garegin the Second voiced concern about the "bellicose statements" in Azerbaijan, which have recently become frequent by the side of the religious leader of Azerbaijan as well.
The All-Armenian Catholicos informed the visitor about "the barbarian actions" against Armenian religious and cultural monuments in Azerbaijan, particularly stressing the alleged termination of khachkars in the territory of the ancient Armenian cemetery in Julfa (Old Juga).
