“We tried to negotiate with those who can help in this matter, but unfortunately, there was total silence,” said Patriarch John X of Antioch and All East, the brother of the Greek Orthodox Archbishop Boulous.
“No side has actually claimed responsibility for the kidnapping but we still have hope that the two bishops are alive, and there is more good news than bad news. ” – Lebanese Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk.
In 2015, Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II met Russian President Vladimir Putin and discussed the case of Bishops of Aleppo.
