Archbishop of the Armenians of Isfahan Province Babken Charian
underlined that the rights of religious and ethnic minorities are
respected in Iran, saying that the country can serve as a role model
for interaction among followers of divine religions in other world
states, Iran's Fars news agency reported.
"The existing model of interaction among different religions and
communities in Iran is very appropriate and if people and nations of
other countries follow this model they can live at peace and
tranquility," Charian said in a meeting with Isfahan mayor on Tuesday.
"Thank God, peace, tranquility and unity is prevalent among all
communities (in Iran) and we are not experiencing the problems of war
and turmoil that other countries are facing," he added.
Iran's Constitution has officially recognized Christianity, Judaism
and Zoroastrianism as divine religions alongside Islam and their
followers are having a peaceful life and friendly relationship with
each other.
