Armenian human-rights advocates are expressing deep concern about
of new proposed legislation governing religious affairs. The
legislation, which has won preliminary approval in parliament,
would set restrictions on unregistered religious groups and on the
preaching of religious beliefs. Opponents told Forum 18 that the
proposal would be a "serious setback to the development of a modern,
progressive and liberal Armenia."
