PanARMENIAN.Net - Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, may become a
permanent host of a tolerance dialogue between different religions
from all over the world upon conclusion of the forum titled "Religion
for People" which was held in Sofia's Sheraton hotel earlier this
week as a discussion of ways religion can serve peace and tolerance.
The participants decided to hold the next meeting in October 2012,
novinite.com reported citing the Bulgarian Standart (Standard) daily.
Bulgaria's Chief Mufti, Mustafa Hadzhi, stressed on religious education
for children, pointing out parents today need to see their offspring
not just as "refrigerators that must be filled with food," but take
care of their souls as well.
Armenian Archimandrite Hovakimian compared religious pluralism to
a bouquet of flowers - the more are flowers, the more beautiful is
the bouquet.
The only sparks were exchanged between the Bishop of Cyprus Porpfiriy
and the representative of Turkey's Religions Directorate, Fikret
Kahraman, about who is at fault regarding events in Cyprus in 1794
and today's division of the island.
