    YEREVAN, MARCH 31, ARMENPRESS: On March 31 the Speaker of Armenian
    parliament Hovik Abrahamian received the representative of Armenian
    Evangelical association Rene Levonian. Public relations department
    of the Armenian parliament told Armenpress that the interlocutors
    discussed issues connected with the bill of making changes and
    amendments in the Armenian law on "Freedom of conscience and religious
    organizations".

    The NA Speaker informed his interlocutor that the bill has been sent
    to CoE Venice commission and OSCE ODIHR to get their joint expert
    conclusion. Hovik Abrahamian stressed that the Armenian legislation on
    the freedom of conscience and religious organizations must correspond
    to the European standards.

    R. Levonian expressed his gratification to the NA Speaker on conduction
    of discussions with religious organizations over the bill. The role
    and place of Armenian Apostolic Mother Church in the life of Armenian
    people has been bilaterally stressed as important and the attempts
    to implement spiritual kidnapping under the gossamer of charity have
    been condemned.

    During the conversation R. Levonian also informed the NA Speaker about
    the activity of Armenian Evangelical Association in the Diaspora as
    well as in Armenia and presented the programs of the organization in
    the benevolent, public education, cultural and other spheres.
