Today at the papal residence in Cairo, His Holiness Pope Tawadros II received His Eminence Archbishop Ashot, Metropolitan of the Armenian Orthodox Church in Egypt, and Mr. Hrachia Poladian, the Armenian Ambassador to Egypt, where they extended an invitation to His Holiness the Pope to attend the celebrations of the making of the Holy Chrism in Armenia next October, and promised to send someone on his behalf of His Holiness in this matter.
The conversation also touched on the illegal and inhumane siege of the Artsakh region by Azerbaijan, and His Holiness the Pope appealed to the relevant authorities in the State of Azerbaijan to open the Lachin Corridor in the South Caucasus for the safety of people and to protect them from the specter of hunger, as this vital corridor has been closed since December 2022, hoping That peace prevail between the two neighboring countries.
