We as Armenians are lucky to have a great friend like Pope Francis.
God bless Pope Francis
Wonderful ! The Pope is a great human being. He is a true leader for all mankind. He goes after truth directly and without hesitation. He has no appetite for diplomacy and pussy footing around issues.
May he live and lead for a long time.
We are fortunate to have The Pope as a friend.
Beautiful
Bless the Pope for visiting Armenia and giving his blessings. My family, except for my father and one younger brother of his, were all massacred by the Ottoman Turks in 1915. How could one country and one government perpetrate such a sinful act as killing 1.5 million Armenians, and taking over or destroying all of their person possessions. My family were all from Ordu, and the house they owned is now occupied by Turks, as are many other Armenian homes in Ordu.
Bless the Pope for being so loving and understanding!!
