Pope Francis I has commented on the tense relations between Russia and Turkey and the likelihood of his visit to Armenia. As reports Turkey’s Milliyet, the Pope answered questions from his accompanying journalists in a plane after his six-day visit to African countries.

Journalist for Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper Marco Ansaldo asked the Pope the following question: “Are you planning on visiting Armenia on the 101^st anniversary of the Armenian massacres, just like you visited Turkey?”

In response, the Pope said: “Last year, I had promised three patriarchs that I would visit Armenia. I have made a promise. I don’t know if I will be able to do it, but I have made a promise.”

The same journalist also tried to find out the Vatican’s position on the tension caused by the downing of a Russian military jet by Turkey and reminded that the Pope sometimes mentions that everyone is currently in the Third World War.

“I don’t know what the Vatican is thinking. I personally believe war is a sin. People are killed and displaced. Wars are caused by human trafficking and several other bad things. We need to put an end to wars,” the pontiff said, as reports ermenihaber.am.

At journalists’ request, the Pope also touched upon the climate change summit in Paris, emphasizing that he trusts the world leaders in Paris and is certain that they can find some solution to bring the planet out of this climate crisis.

“It’s either now or never because the planet is on the verge of self-destruction,” Pope Francis I mentioned.
