Washington, SANA – Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East John X Yazigi stressed that the Antioch Church calls for adopting the language of dialogue and peaceful solutions across the world, realizing peace in Syria and maintaining stability in Lebanon.
“The language of terrorism, Takfiri and kidnaping is unfamiliar of the past and present of the Middle East,” Yazigi said in a statement from the US, stressing that Christians are commitment to their lands whatever the difficulties were, adding that “the mottos which we hear here and there on protecting the Christians could find their true meaning through realizing peace at those countries.”
Patriarch Yazigi met the Antioch priests at the Diocese of Antioch in New York and the Entire North America on the eve of the Diocese of Antioch Conference at the US which encompasses more than one million Oriental Orthodox persons.
