YEREVAN, JUNE 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The progress achieved after the
re-establishment of independent statehood has already created an
opportunity to thoroughly think about the necessity of restoring
spiritual values. This was mentioned by Tigran Torosian, the Speaker
of the National Assembly, at the June 15 meeting with the Catholicos
of All Armenians Garegin II.
According to information provided to Noyan Tapan by the RA NA Public
Relations Department, Tigran Torosian mentioned that it is time to
fully appreciate the inheritance and importance of the church and
to reorganize spiritual and public life on that basis. He attached
importance to the inclusion of the provision concerning the Armenian
Apostolic church in the RA Constitution as a result of constitutional
amendments and the adoption of the RA Law on "The Relations of
the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church". The NA
Speaker made assertions that the NA of the fourth convocation will
also contribute to the strengthening of spiritual bases in public life.
In the estimation of the Catholicos of All Armenians, important steps
were taken regarding state-church relations and the reforms should be
continued so that the expectations of the Armenian people living in
their homeland or in the Diaspora are justified and that Armenia will
become a truly desired home and fatherland. His Holiness expressed
hope that the issues that still need to be solved will find their
solutions in the legislative field and contribute to the strengthening
of spiritual and moral values in people's daily routine and work,
and that the constantly developing state and the progressing church
will jointly realize the will of the people.
