A high-level delegation of bishops from the Middle East visited COMECE and met with Christian organisations to talk about the condition of Christian minorities in Syria and Iraq.
His Beatitude Ignatius Joseph III Younan, Syriac-Catholic Patriarch of Antioch, together with Mgr. Antoine Chahda, Archbishop of Aleppo, highlighted the dramatic situation of Syrian and Iraqi people, shattered since many years with widespread violence.
The two bishops shared the difficulties faced by the Christian minorities in a general context of instability, violence and intolerance.
The visit took place at the same time in which COMECE, in regular contact and close dialogue with Iraqi bishops, elaborated few reccomandations to the new EU’s committment to elaborate a strategy on Iraq.
