The law on religious minorities should be adopted by the National
Assembly. Moreover, the Armenian government together with Education
and Science Ministry and law-enforcement agencies have to prepare
professionals to fight display of aggression in the activity
of religious organizations, the head of the Centre for Aid and
Rehabilitation of Victims of Destructive Cults, Aleksandr Amaryan,
said at today's round table which discussed the idea of creation of
the council for protection of mass media from aggression of religious
minorities.
To note, the aggression of religious organizations is displayed in
the situation when representatives of religious organizations have
been trying to hinder dissemination of video films which discredit
and insult the Church.
Aramyan thinks that it is aggression that several of these insulting
video films and photos about the activity of the "Word of Life"
church, which had been put in Youtube by one of the news web sites,
were blocked by a priest Artur Simonyan, which did not even inform
the leadership of the site. Amaryan said that permanent threats sound
regarding the authors of these video films.
