We remain hopeful that common efforts to overcome the present challenges and the securing of a peaceful and creative life in the Caucasus region will be crowned with the desired success, and the harmonious life and experience of cooperation between the Armenian and Azerbaijani peoples will once again sprout with seedlings of peace. […] Let us remain faithful to the commandment of Christ’s apostle, which is also a call directed to all humanity: Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. II Corinthians 13:11.

— HH Karekin II, addressing the World Summit of Religious Leaders in Baku, Azerbaijan
