The Synod also adopted a statement, in which it called on the Christian world to join the prayer on the 100th commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.
Members of the Bishops’ Synod also called on the international community to continue the efforts towards international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide and reestablish the “just rights” of the Armenian people.
