TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani and World
Catholic Armenian Patriarch Nerses Bedros XIX in a meeting in Tehran
on Monday discussed regional and international developments.
During the meeting in the Iranian capital today, Iran's judiciary
chief and Patriarch Nerses Bedros XIX discussed the conditions of
Armenians as a religious minority in Iran.
The two sides also exchanged views on the latest regional and
international developments.
Earlier this month, 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 of interaction among followers of different divine
religions.
"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.
"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.
