    The prizes 2006 of the International Orthodox Peoples' Unity Fund have
    been awarded to Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, Archbishop Savvas
    of Warsaw and All Poland, sixth UN Secretary General Butros Butros
    Gali and `Gazprom' Company. `The award ceremony will be held January
    21 in Moscow under the auspice of the Patriarch of Moscow and All
    Russia Alexi II,' President of the International Orthodox Peoples'
    Unity Fund Valeri Alexeyev told RIA Novosti. He said that the Fund
    `attaches particular importance to the reinforcement of ties with
    ancient Eastern Churches, among which is the Armenian church.

    `Armenian President Robert Kocharyan managed to maintain the spiritual
    integrity of the nation under very hard conditions,' Alexeyev
    noted. `The recent years in Armenia showed how the relations between
    the sate and church should be built in the new political situation and
    under the conditions of partition of the nation, when in many counties
    of the world the Diaspora exceeds the local population in number,' he
    added.
