for proper treatment of religious minorities and respecting them.
In a meeting with Governor General of the central province of Isfahan
Alireza Zaker-Esfahani Wednesday evening, the bishop praised the
Islamic Republic for having managed to establish a very good
interaction with members of religious minorities.
Turning to the current situation in Syria and massacre of defenseless
people there, he said the calamity is resulted from ignoring teachings
of divine religions.
On the special ceremonies Armenians held in Isfahan on the occasion,
the bishop said his congregation prayed for establishment of peace all
over the world including Syria.
Zaker-Esfahani, for his part, stressed the need for promoting
interaction among divine religions as the major needs of the human
community today.
He said the evil plans of enemies will certainly fail if all divine
religions adhere to foster unity.
