Armenian Genocide centennial Mass in Vatican was universal event – expert

The Holy Mass dedicated to Armenian Genocide centenary in the Vatican was a universal and all-Christian event, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said on Wednesday. 

“This was a greater event than recognition of the Genocide by a country leader. This was a universal and all-Christian development,” Iskandaryan told reporters. 

According to the expert, the Pope is a global leader, and he made the Armenian culture, cultural heritage and church equal to the world heritage, and presented Armenia as homeland of Christianity.

“This event is even deeper than a message issued ahead of April 24. The Pope placed the Armenian Genocide into the global Christian history,” the expert stressed.
