PUBLIC FIGURE OFFERS TO SET UP RELIGIOUS POLICE IN ARMENIA
December 25, 2012 – 18:09 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – A boost in sect inflow was posted in Armenia,
further exacerbated by favorable conditions in the country, the
co-chair of United Youth League said.
Daniel Petrosyan urged for resignation of head of the Department for
Ethnic Minorities and Religious Affairs Vardan Asatryan if he fails
to take retaliatory measures.
The second co-chair of United Youth League Sevak Hovhannisyan,
in turn, offered to set up religious police to explain religious
motivated crimes.
“Though Armenian police turned down the offer, deeming themselves
capable of tackling the problem, no relevant measures have so far
been taken in the direction,” Mr. Hovhannisyan said, stressing the
need for new amendments to the criminal code.
