Vatican city: MP Neemat Frem expressed his thoughts on the X platform, highlighting the significance of the canonization of Bishop Ignatius Maloyan. Frem acknowledged the joyous occasion for the members of the Armenian Catholic Church, celebrating the sainthood of Bishop Maloyan, a figure who demonstrated unwavering faith amidst severe trials in 1915.

According to National News Agency – Lebanon, Frem emphasized that Bishop Maloyan’s canonization serves as a message of divine justice for those who endured genocide.
