Head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos Garegin II said
the Religious Leaders Forum in Yerevan "will have a positive chord
in the souls of our peoples and give good fruits".
Speaking at a session of the CIS Inter-Religious Council on Monday,
Garegin II said the forum "is designed to strengthen our cooperation
for the benefit of the lives of our peoples and for the sake of moral
values, to reaffirm spiritual progress and peace".
"God makes our meeting possible to help us find ways to counter the
imperatives of our peoples' life by keeping them in peace and gracious
living," the catholicos said.
In his view, "the CIS countries represent a multinational and
multi-cultural world with the centuries-long traditions." "These
traditions consolidated in the Soviet times and should develop today
when our peoples restore their spiritual life in free and sovereign
countries and seek to live with the faith in God," Garegin II said.
The head of the Armenian Apostolic Church stressed, "Cooperation
between the religious leaders is significant for countering the
existing imperatives and settling conflicts, spreading humanitarian
values, respecting the God-given right to the peoples' free life and
unhindered confession of their faith."
The catholicos said, "In my view, moral principles, goodwill, mutual
understanding and tolerance, the respect of other peoples and cultures
have a big significance for resolving the gnawing problems." "Today
the world faces new challenges. Amidst globalisation, the economic,
scientific and cultural achievements we voice serious concern over
violence and war, the global economic and financial crisis, the social
and political disturbances in North Africa and the Middle East,"
Garegin II said.
