/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church sent condolences to Catholicos of All Armenians, his Holiness Garegin II over the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
It’s remarkable that term Genocide is used in the message.
“The Ottoman Empire subjected Bulgarian people and Church to severe persecution. This proves that two Christian nations had a similar destiny. Over 70 thousand of Armenians, heirs of the Genocide victims, live in Bulgaria nowadays. May the memory of Turkish yataghan’s victims live forever,” the message says, the RA MFA press office reported.
