    ARMENIA TO WORK OUT STRATEGY TO PREVENT DESTRUCTIVE SECTARIAN MOVEMENTS

    The Armenian National Security Council is working out a strategy to
    prevent the activity of destructive sects in Armenia. For this purpose
    it has set up an inter-departmental commission, which convened its
    first sitting today chaired by Secretary of the National Security
    Council Arthur Baghdasaryan.

    Arthur Baghdasaryan noted that "ensuring religious security is one
    of the priorities of the national security strategy." "It includes
    the prevention of phenomena that jeopardize the religious-cultural
    identity of the Armenian people and the moral values, creation of
    conditions for the religious-cultural development of individuals and
    the society at large, preservation of the national identity."

    According to the Secretary of the National Security Council,
    the strategy will in no way restrict the freedom of religion or
    conscience, the fundamental freedoms of the man and the citizen and
    will not demonstrate discrimination against any religious direction.

    It will be aimed at preventing and restraining the destructive
    movements and can be dangerous to the life of individuals, families,
    the society and the democratic institutions, thus shattering the
    bases of the state and the development of society.

    In this context Arthur Baghdasaryan stressed the importance of
    working out a strategy corresponding to European standards, noting
    that European experts will participate in the process.
