    ARCHBISHOP OF TEHRAN: NO WORLD PEACE WITHOUT RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE

    Payvand, Iran
    Sept 11 2006

    TEHRAN, Sept. 11 (Mehr News Agency) -- Archbishop Sebu Sarkissian,
    the spiritual leader of Armenian Orthodox Christians in Tehran, said
    on Monday that dialogue is an absolute necessity of the modern world.

    The main objective of all divine religions is to teach people to live
    better lives, Sarkissian told the Mehr News Agency.

    "Since the followers of all divine religions have a strong belief
    in their religious values, it is essential to hold talks between the
    followers of different religions and religious denominations.

    "Religious negotiations are the most important kind of negotiations
    in the modern world because mutual understanding and religious
    tolerance will be established between religions when they actually
    become familiar with each other," he said.

    Archbishop Sarkissian stated that the topic of discussion in dialogue
    among religions depends on the interests of the participants in the
    religious, social, political, or cultural spheres.

    "Moral values are necessities of human life and religious dialogue
    because these are the values that unite humans and help them understand
    each other," he added.

    Religious dialogue has become essential in recent years because
    world peace can never be established without mutual understanding,
    Sarkissian said in conclusion.
