Catholicos Aram I was accompanied by Yervant Pamboukian from the Central National Committee, Committee chairman of the Diocese of Aleppo Daron Avedissian, benefactors Harout and Souren Vartanian brothers.

After their meeting with the President, the two Catholicoi visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial of Dzidzernagapert and placed a wrath in the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide on the eve of the Martyrs’ day, 24th of April. The Pontiffs also presided over a Requiem service in the memory of the victims. Later they visited the Genocide museum adjacent to the memorial. President Serge Sarkssian hosted a luncheon in honour of the two Catholicoi.
