PanARMENIAN.Net – None of the sects existing in the world is of
Armenian origin, Priest Ter Shmavon Ghevondyan said.

“None of the sects has broken away from the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Though a number of sects operate in RA, they don’t criticize one
another due to a common financial source,” he told a news conference,
adding that sects are registered as religious organizations in Armenia.

Asked as to the steps the church takes to cut the number of the sects,
Priest Ter Shmavon Ghevondyan linked the problem to the small number
of clergymen.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
