ATTACK ON THE KAYSERI ARMENIAN CHURCH

There are continuing reactions of Muslim circles to the anti-Islam caricatures published by an irresponsible magazine in Denmark. These reactions are bearing down on the diplomatic missions of many western countries. There have been incidents like the murder in Trabzon of the Catholic priest Andrea Santoro, the assault in Izmir on the Catholic priest Martin Kmerec, and the slogans written in Istanbul on the walls of two Christian churches. Demonstrations now continue against the west and against Christianity.

According to information relayed to the Armenian Patriarchate by members of the tiny Armenian community in Kayseri, unidentified persons appeared with a weapon in front of the Armenian Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator in Kayseri and fired ten times into the outer door.

The Governor of Kayseri, Osman Gunes, immediately established security precautions in the area of the Kayseri Armenian Church and put officers on duty in the church courtyard.

His Beatitude Mesrob II, Armenian Patriarch of Istanbul and All Turkey, made known his distress over these developments as follows. “It is the most natural right of Muslim believers to express their outrage over the provocative caricatures published in Denmark, but I cannot understand the use of violence against the worship places of Christian citizens of our country. Whoever has done such a thing has behaved in a deviant, unacceptable, and senseless way; it is a crime, and people can later interpret these types of attacks in a very different way. Every sort of violence is unjustifiable, wrong, and to be condemned!”

Հ1-ով արդեն այդ մասին տեղեկացել էի այդ մասին:

Ես հակված եմ այն կարծիքին, որ դա բնական երեւույթ է մահմեդականների շրջանում:

Պարզապես չէր կարելի տպագրել այդօրինակ ծաղրանկարներ, որոնք կվիրվորեն մարդկանց միխմբի կրոնական զգացմունքները...

Չնայած ազերիները ջարդում են մեր խաչքարերը :wallbash:
