Good that they met. Interesting how these high-level meetings take place rather quietly, without big headlines.

Eva Svobodová

Yes, I agree, these meetings usually take place in silence and without unnecessary fuss. I remember how the visit of our metropolitan to the Armenian community in Prague was similar a few years ago - simply coffee, conversation and mutual respect. Do you think such quiet meetings could bring more than those noisy conferences?

Milica Marković

It's good that they met. Here in Nis, similar visits by the Armenian community passed just as quietly, without fanfare - just conversation and coffee after the liturgy. I wonder if they also discussed some common prayer for peace in these times.

It's good to meet. With us in Telavi, when the Armenian priest came to the church after the liturgy, it was exactly like that — tea, simple conversation and respect, without television. I think quiet meetings like this make more of a difference than big headlines.

It's good that they met. At our place in Banja Luka, when an Armenian priest came to celebrate a few years ago, it was the same - after the liturgy, coffee, simple conversation and peace, without any cameras. I wonder if they also mentioned a common prayer for peace.

Well said, Anna. We also had an Armenian guest at the bazaar this year when we brought grapes — just like that, tea and easy conversation ensued. Such meetings are really more useful than noisy photos.

Maya, that's right. We also had an Armenian neighbor who came to our yard this year when I was making the altar wind - we just had tea and started talking. Really simple meetings remain in the heart.
