On November 6, 2009 during a reception at the Cilicia Museum His Holiness Aram I awarded Setrak Sarkissian with the St. Mesrob Mashdotz medal in the presence of Lebanese and Armenian politicians, artists and literary persons. Before decorating him, Catholicos Aram I said: “Setrak Sarkissian is well known for his art of Arabic drumming. Music heals the soul and the mind. Through his instrument Setrak Sarkissian contributed to the harmonious expression of Lebanese Arabic Music and through his concerts he shared it with the world”. On behalf of the Lebanese community the poet, writer and critic Mr Henri Zoghaib praised Mr. Sarkissian for his skillful and effective use of riffles.
