    Alexander Amaryan, the head of the Center For Rehabilitation of Victims
    of the Destructive Cult, stated over 300 thousand people in Armenia are
    not followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Catholics count 180
    thousand, 22-25 thousand are Charismates, 12 thousand are Witnesses
    of Jehovah, 50-60 thousand are Ceremonialists, Zoroastrians (Kurds,
    Yezidis), Mounists count 1000, 200-300 are Sientologists, etc. There
    are also Muslim Armenians. The sects found in Armenia mostly have
    an American, Swiss or German origin. There are also sects of South
    Korean, Chinese and Buddhist origin. According to A.

    Amaryan, there are churches in Armenia, founded by Africans,
    particularly, the branch of the Church of the People of God founded
    by Sunday Adeladjah from Nigeria.

    Presently, 57 religious organizations are registered in Armenia,
    which belong to 14 religious branches. Most sects are registered as
    non-governmental, educational, charity and commercial organizations,
    and operate under different functions. According to A. Amaryan,
    there is a huge gap in the regulation of legislation and control on
    religious organizations in Armenia.
