    Spiritual Leader of the World Armenians Archbishop Jasliq Aram I in
    Tehran on Wednesday strongly condemned holy Qu'ran desecration by
    the US guards at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

    "Desecration of religious and spiritual sanctities are condemned and
    dialogue among religions is considered as the first stage to prevent
    such sacrilege," the Armenian leader told Iran's Head of Islamic
    Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) Mahmoud Mohammadi Eraqi.

    Newsweek magazine reported on May 9 that interrogators at the
    Guantanamo Bay detention camp desecrated the holy Qur'an during
    interrogating the Afghan prisoners.

    Archbishop Jasliq recommended the followers of all religions to
    defend justice and do not care foreign mass media sowing discord
    among followers of different religions.

    In today world, dialogue among religions is of high importance and
    the religions should further get closer to each other in a bid to
    exchange views, the spiritual leader noted.

    Mohammadi Araqi also expressed outrage at Qu'ran desecration by the
    US guards, saying that the Qu'ran desecration is their last enmity
    to Islam .

    It seems as if some plots were hatched to inspire the theory of war
    among civilizations, he added.

    Today, world is dominated by tyranny and unilateralism, he noted,
    concluding that the views of such leaders as Archbishop Jaslig are
    regarded as a worthy opportunity for restoring peace, friendship to
    the international community.

    The spiritual leader of the World Armenian Jasliq Aram I arrived in
    Tehran on Thursday, May 12 for a 14-day visit. He has already visited
    Iran for three times.

    During his stay in Iran, he will tour the provinces of Isfahan,
    Markazi, West Azerbaijan and East Azerbaijan.

    He will pay tribute to the founder of the Islamic Revolution the late
    Imam Khomeini on Thursday, May 19.
