KARABAKH’S HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS DISCUSS SITUATION OF RELIGIOUS
MINORITIES IN REPUBLIC
STEPANAKERT, JULY 16. ARMINFO. NKR nongovernmental organization “Center
of civil initiatives” held a Roundtable in Stepanakert on the topic
“Religious minorities and the attitude of the modern Karabakh society
to them”.
As ARMINFO’s own correspondent in Stepanakert informs, representatives
of the authorities of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, human
rights campaigners, experts, representatives of various religious
organizations, journalists took part in the roundtable. Opening
the roundtable Director of the Center of civil initiatives Albert
Voskanian mentioned that the objective of the arrangement is not to
determine which religion or religious current is right and which
one is wrong, but to fix the attitude of the Karabakh society to
religious minorities.
“As the practice shows repressive measures against religious minorities
not only don’t promote their “extermination”, but, on the contrary,
result in increase of their supporters”, Albert Voskanian said. The
participants of the roundtable discussed various aspects of this
problem, stressing the importance of holding similar arrangements.
