Pope Francis declared about the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire during his visit to Armenia

27 2016 June 42

During his official visit to Yerevan, Pope Francis, as head of the Vatican and the entire Roman Catholic Church, once again made it clear that he recognized the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. During one of his speeches, Francis said:

This tragedy, this genocide, unfortunately, marked the beginning of the sad series of major disasters of the last century.

After that, the head of the Catholic Church, together with representatives of the Armenian clergy, visited the ancient monastery of Khor Virap, symbolizing the adoption of Christianity by Armenia, and released pigeons in the direction of Mount Ararat, which is now in Turkish territory. This is reported by the Armenian information resource. News.am.

From the German newspaper Tagesspiegel:

Until recently, it was unclear whether the Pope would utter the word "genocide". This word was not used in the official text of his speech, but on the very first day of his visit to Armenia, Francis used this term and called upon the world to never forget about the Armenian genocide.

Attention to this speech by the Pope was so great because last year Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after Francis first used the word "genocide" in relation to events in the Ottoman Empire against Armenians, announced the "mistake" made by the head RCC. Erdogan then stated:

I hope that such mistakes will never happen again.

Francis, visiting Armenia, made it clear that he did not make any reservations or mistakes.

The Armenian authorities turned to the head of the RCC with the request to declassify all documents relating to the Armenian Genocide by the Turks during the First World War.

In Turkey, the use of the word “genocide” by the Pope and the requests of official Yerevan to the Vatican caused a storm of negativity. The softest comments from Turkish politicians and representatives of the press spoke about the statement of Francis as “the position of the crusaders”. That was the phrase used by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Turkish Government Nureddin Janikli in his speech.

Recall that not so long ago the German parliament recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire.

      And he (the pope) recognized the buggers and urges to ask for forgiveness from the buggers.
      
      So, from now on we can officially call Europeans pederasts. And this is not some kind of name-calling, but quite the official name of this "civilization", approved by their "spiritual" leader.
      
      It turns out that liberalists who appeal to European values are called, including pederasty.

        An article on the recognition by the pope of the Ottoman genocide of Armenians, not Europeans, and even more so these. The Turks must ask for forgiveness from the Armenians.
        And with your comment you can either voluntarily or involuntarily offend the feelings of the Armenians.

      What "sexual" relation does this writer have to the rehabilitation of Galileo Vinchezo Galilei? The process was started by Pope John Paul II (in the world Karol Wojtylla), as it were, almost simultaneously with the entry of our troops into Afghanistan and ended, as it were, in 1992. Created by "papyzhniki" THEY also canceled. In your case, erudition is good if reason is attached to it.

  Dad, nothing will be done just like that. And the phrase about "gray eminence" refers to him and to all his predecessors. He recognizes the genocide in the eyes, he will grumble about the unity of the churches, but ...
  The ideology of "knight-dogs" is to impose their convictions with fire and sword without going anywhere
  In Armenia, too, not just drew, for the recognition of the genocide, "water wears away a stone" - and this, quietly, "clearing" around Russia and recalcitrant Orthodoxy, trample
  The Ecumenical Council, also not without the participation of brothers in faith, failed
  Provided "support" to Bartholomew, Patriarch of Constantinople, in his ambitious thoughts to be called the very first of equals - the result: the cathedral, which had been preparing for a thousand years, "passes" under the direction of some reason ... Catholics
  Five - Antioch, Georgian, Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian churches, equal in importance to the Churches of Constantinople

  Maybe they will return Ararat. Well, the Catholic Church has already made similar confessions, for example, about the Crusades. I would like to hear something like this from the Orthodox Church, only in relation to Russian history.

There was nothing to slaughter Armenians, then there would not have to be indignation. Heads cut, a lot of mind is not necessary, then you have to disentangle for a long time .., which we observe. The Turks have exhausted their already not beautiful history. Now they have a long walk with a paralyzed gouge.

Historical memory? Bench press bench press?
Our school doesn’t do this - but The 1st Crusade was a response to the genocide that the TurksSeljuks arranged for the Christians of Anatolia after the tragic battle for Byzantium at Manzikert (1071)
