Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I condemned blasting of the Armenian church in Deir ez-Zor, Syria.

It is with deep sorrow that Catholicos learned about the blasting of the church in Deir ez-Zor, the statement reads.

According to information which has come down, blasting of the church, erected in memory of the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide, as well as of the adjacent museum, was a planned crime.

Catholicos strongly condemned this criminal act: “We believe this is barbaric crime committed on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and the day of the 23rd anniversary of Armenia's independence. Those who are behind this crime, should be aware that they can not erase memories about our martyrs and Deir ez-Zor that symbolizes the struggle of our people for justice, a shrine of the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide,” the statement reads.
