President Serzh Sargsyan ends visit to Jordan
During his visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan visited the place where Jesus Christ was baptized in the Jordan River, the presidential press service said.
The president made an inscription in the guest book: “At Al-Maghtas, where Jesus Christ was baptized, the spiritual dominates. A human here becomes a part of humanity, realizing the inevitability of eternity. Baptism symbolizes the new, the tolerant and the reborn good. I believe that this place can change a person’s understanding of the world”.
Accompanied by the Armenian patriarch of Jerusalem, the spiritual leader of Jordan and the Armenian delegation, the president then visited St. Karapet Armenian Church.
The Armenian delegation led by Serzh Sargsyan has ended the official visit to Jordan and will return to Yerevan.
