Catholicos Aram I Meets Lebanese MP Michel Elias Murr

Catholicos Aram I, spiritual leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church's Western Diocese, hosted Lebanese MP Michel Elias Murr and his delegation on June 19. Murr, who also serves as president of the Syriac League, led the visit to affirm support for the Lebanese Armenian community. The meeting underscored mutual respect and the Armenian community's commitment to civic participation in Lebanon. The visit reflects ongoing diplomatic engagement between Armenian religious leadership and political figures in the Middle East, where significant Armenian diaspora populations maintain cultural and religious institutions. Lebanese Armenians, descendants of genocide survivors and earlier migrants, continue to play active roles in their country's political and social landscape.
