ArmInfo.  The clergy of Armenia, headed by Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II, visited the memorial complex of the victims of the Armenian Genocide in Tsitsernakaberd, where they honored the memory of the victims of the first Genocide in the history of mankind.

Accompanied by the highest clergy of the country, the Catholicos held  a memorial service.

In a conversation with journalists, he noted that on the 110th  anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the genocidal actions against  the Armenians of Artsakh are also remembered.

"We ask the Lord for strength for our people to overcome difficulties  for the sake of the well-being of our country," the Catholicos said,  adding that the pain of the loss of Artsakh remains in the hearts of  the Armenian people.

Answering a question from journalists about the Church's attitude to  the statement of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, who  condemned the burning of the Turkish and Azerbaijani flags, the head  of the Armenian Apostolic Church called for waiting for his speech  with a message during the liturgy.
