Date: 29th March 2021 Dear Mrs Newens, On behalf of the Armenian Church of the United Kingdom and Ireland, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your husband, Mr. Stan Newens. Even though I did not know him personally, I know that Mr Newens was a great friend of Armenians. He was amongst the individuals that worked tirelessly for the European Parliament to recognize the Armenian Genocide. He will be sadly missed by all Armenians here in the UK. We are praying that God’s grace will provide you and your family with the strength needed at your time of bereavement. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4. May the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be your source of comfort during this difficult time. With sincerest sympathy Bishop Hovakim Manukyan Primate and Pontifical Legate
