    PUBLIC FIGURE OFFERS TO SET UP RELIGIOUS POLICE IN ARMENIA

    December 25, 2012 - 18:09 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - A boost in sect inflow was posted in Armenia,
    further exacerbated by favorable conditions in the country, the
    co-chair of United Youth League said.

    Daniel Petrosyan urged for resignation of head of the Department for
    Ethnic Minorities and Religious Affairs Vardan Asatryan if he fails
    to take retaliatory measures.

    The second co-chair of United Youth League Sevak Hovhannisyan,
    in turn, offered to set up religious police to explain religious
    motivated crimes.

    "Though Armenian police turned down the offer, deeming themselves
    capable of tackling the problem, no relevant measures have so far
    been taken in the direction," Mr. Hovhannisyan said, stressing the
    need for new amendments to the criminal code.
