PM Hovik Abrahamyan Offers Condolences on Demise of Catholicos Patriarch Nerses Bedros XIX
With deep sorrow I learned of the passing of His Beatitude Nerses Bedros XIX, Catholicos Patriarch of Cilicia of Armenian Catholics.
We lost an eminent religious figure who served the Church with great devotion and faith, making a great contribution to the preservation and strengthening of Armenia-Diaspora relationship.
Invaluable is the Catholicos Patriarch’s contribution to the expansion and deepening of inter-church relations.
I extend my deepest condolences to the close relatives and friends of Catholicos Patriarch Nerses Bedros XIX, as well as to all the representatives of the spiritual world.
