ArmInfo. The fathers of the Mekhitarist Order of Venice have expressed their support for the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Catholicos of All Armenians, Karekin II.
"For centuries, the Armenian Church, led by its Patriarchs, has led the Armenian people with a patriotic spirit and self-sacrifice through the dark and turbulent cataclysms of history, ensuring the survival of the Armenian people despite the ferocity of their enemies. The Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin is seen by Armenians all over the world as the cradle of faith, a beacon of hope, a support for survival and a guarantee of stability. Through our constant prayers, we implore the All-Savior, asking him to protect the Patriarchal Throne of All Armenians, His Holiness the Catholicos and the Armenian people, keeping them steadfast. Almighty God, save us from evil and all its companions," the statement reads.
