A French media outlet reported about possible visit of Pope Francis to Armenia next year, Nouvelles d'Arménie  said quoting an article by La Croix newspaper.

“At 90 percent, God willing, the visit of the Pope to the Mother See [Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin] will take place on the occasion of the canonization of our martyrs in 2015,” Archimandrite Shahe Ananyan said several days after a meeting of Catholicos Karekin II with Pope Fracis at the Vatican.

He expressed confidence that Pope's visit may take place next year. This will be a symbolic move indicating the Vatican will recognize Armenian Genocide just as it was done by Pope John Paul II back in 2001.
