His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia has posted the following on his Facebook page:

“The time has come for international recognition of Artsakh. The Armenian Diaspora should especially raise the issue on recognition of Artsakh through its advocacy and relatively wide opportunities. Every step towards recognition by cities, states and organizations can make a major contribution to the international community’s recognition of the independence of Artsakh.”

A few days ago, the Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia has assigned dioceses and urged Armenian organizations of the Diaspora to make efforts for international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh at different levels.
