    CHURCH INTERVENES IN ARMENIA TURMOIL

    Interfax
    March 3 2008
    Russia

    Yerevan, March 3, Interfax - The Armenian Apostolic Church intervened
    on Saturday in the confrontation between Armenia's government
    and rioting supporters of former president Ter-Petrosian, who are
    protesting against his officially announced defeat in the presidential
    election on February 19, claiming it was rigged.

    "The Armenian Church urges the sons of the people to show presence
    of mind and restraint, it urges them to avoid clashes and work for
    stability so that, via dialogue, a way out can be found of the current
    political situation," the Church said in a statement.

    The head of the Church, Catholicos Karekin II, instructed priests to
    visit hospitalized victims of riots.
