ARMENIAN YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS UNITE TO FIGHT BACK RELIGIOUS SECTS

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, ARMENPRESS: The youth wing of the ruling
Republican Party announced today that all those who will face an
aggressive behavior from members of the recently registered Jehovah’s
Witnesses organization may call 56- 42- 97 or 53- 72- 98 to report
the incidents.
Armen Ashotian, the head of the youth wing, said another 40 youth
organizations, “concerned with the danger to the nation’s spiritual
and cultural values,” have joined the struggle against religious
sects in order to foil attempts jeopardizing the nation’s security.
“We deem proselytizing as a social evil and will keep in the
limelight all illegal activity of the religious sects,” he said,
adding that the organizations will ask the education ministry to
introduce compulsory teaching of Armenian Church History in all
universities curricula. Ashotian said the organizations will stage
authorized rallies and hold public discussions to fight against the
sects.
