    09.03.2005, 18.18

    MOSCOW, March 9 (Itar-Tass) -- Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All
    Russia warned against attempts to revise the results of World War II.

    Speaking at the opening of the 9th World Russian Peopleâ~@~Ys
    Assembly on Wednesday, Alexy II said, â~@~Today some are trying to
    slander and bury in oblivion the feat of our people and to equalise
    aggressors and those who fought them.â~@~]

    He believes it necessary to â~@~do everything possible to ensure
    that these attempts do not succeed and that the thankful memory of
    those who fought against the strongest army of the world safeguarded
    mankind from a new mutual extermination.â~@~]

    The patriarch stressed, â~@~The idea of the global dictatorship of
    terrorism still dominates many minds. We must think about how to
    counter terrorism, how to preserve the greatest achievement of the
    victory â~@~S lasting peace between nations, how to revive the ideal
    of unity and spiritual strength that were shown in those years so
    that the lessons of the great victory were not forgotten but would
    serve for the future of mankind.â~@~]

    The World Russian Peopleâ~@~Ys Assembly, which opened at Moscowâ~@~Ys
    Christ the Saviour Cathedral on Wednesday, is devoted to the unity of
    peoples as a guarantee of the victory over fascism and terrorism.

    Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, officials from the Defence Ministry,
    politicians, statesmen, public and religious figures addressed the
    congress.

    The religious delegates include the chairman of the Central Moslem
    Board, Talgat Tadzhutdin, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church of
    Old Believers, Metropolitan Andrian, the head of the Russian eparchy
    of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Ezras, the chairman of
    the Congress of the Jewish Religious Communities of Russia, Rabbi
    Zinovy Kogan, and a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church
    Abroad, Archbishop Mark of Germany.
