Catholicos: It is important to voice the truth and foster awareness  within international platforms regarding Armenia`s security concerns  and occupation of Artsakh 

ArmInfo. On April 23, His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All  Armenians, received a delegation of Brazilian media representatives at the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. The group was accompanied by Mr. Vazgen Yakoubian, President of the Armenian General Benevolent  Union (AGBU) - Armenia.

As reported by the Chancellery of the Mother See of Etchmiadzin,  during the meeting, Mr. Yakoubian highlighted that it has become a  longstanding tradition for the AGBU Brazil office to organize annual  visits of Brazilian media representatives to Armenia. This initiative  aims to offer participants a firsthand experience of the Armenian  people's history, spiritual and cultural heritage, and the country's  present-day realities, enabling them to convey a deeper, more  informed perspective to the wider Brazilian public.

His Holiness expressed his gratitude to the AGBU Brazil office for  this initiative, underscoring the vital importance of voicing the  truth and fostering awareness within international platforms  regarding Armenia's security concerns, the occupation of Artsakh, the  rightful claims of the Armenians of Artsakh, the plight of Armenian  prisoners held in Baku, and the destruction of Armenia's spiritual  and cultural heritage.  The conversation also addressed a range of  issues, including the international recognition of the Armenian  Genocide, the mission and efforts of the Armenian Apostolic Church in  preserving national identity, its social support initiatives for the  Armenians of Artsakh, and matters concerning inter-church relations.
