The Armenian Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia published a fragment from the sermon of His Holiness Aram I.
“We must be realistic. Today we need people, leaders, both spiritual and national that will be able to rejuvenate our people, inject life to our reality and lead our people in the right direction. Today our Church, Homeland, people and institutions are in need of people. We are facing a shortage of people, a shortage of a leader,” he said.
