U.S. Vice President Joe Biden joined President Serzh Sarkisian and over two thousand Armenian Americans at Washington’s National Cathedral late on Thursday in a remembrance ceremony that marked the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey.
The ecumenical prayer service led by the supreme heads of the Armenian Apostolic Church was also attended by top clerics of the Roman Catholic, Russian and Syriac Orthodox and American Evangelical churches as well as the secretary general of the World Council of Churches, Olav Fykse Tveit. The two-hour service featured sermons delivered by them and a speech by Sarkisian.
