Armenia
YEREVAN. - Armenian National Security Council Interdepartmental
Committee meeting discussed the development of strategies to combat
destructive sectarian movements and ensure the safety of religion.
NSC Secretary Artur Baghdasaryan said that the provision of
religious security is a priority of national security strategy and
includes prevention of phenomena threatening the moral, ethical and
spiritual-cultural identity of the Armenian people.
Baghdasaryan particularly stressed that the document cannot be
associated with restriction of liberty of conscience, religion,
fundamental rights and freedoms. It should not be considered as
a manifestation of discrimination against a particular religious
direction. It is aimed at neutralizing and restraining only those
sectarian movements that have deconstructive and damaging nature and
may have a fatal impact on the institutions of private life, family,
society and democracy.
The Secretary, however, did not mention which body would be authorized
to implement the document provisions and which are the deconstructive
and damaging subjects that will be affected.
