Karekin II conveys Sheikh's request
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill conveyed Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Clerical Office Sheil-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade's request to Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II to assist the return of body of Azeri serviceman Mubariz Ibrahimov, who was killed at Chaylu settlement during an Azerbaijani subversive attack.
According to the head of the information services of Holy Etchamiadzin, Rev. Father Vahram Melikyan, His Holiness Karekin II had a meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to inform about the request.
"Unlike Azerbaijan, Armenia observes humanitarian law norms and transfers bodies to the opposite side. It stands ready to consider any request of the kind if Azerbaijan meets the norms of the international humanitarian law. Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan has always plotted subversive attacks and tried to intrude into the territory of Karabakh which hardly benefits the peaceful settlement of the Karabkh conflict," Vahram Melikyan said.
