    SERZH SARGSYAN: CHURCH-STATE RELATIONS ADJUSTMENT NOT AN EASY TASK

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended the
    Episcopalian Meeting of Armenian Apostolic Church on November 2.

    "Adjustment of church-state relations is not an easy task. The state
    should not interfere with church affairs and vice versa. It's not easy
    to employ this formula in everyday life. It's hard for us, Armenians,
    to draw the border between spiritual and political cultures. But we
    are determined to continue cooperation, which already yields results,"
    President Sargsyan said.

    He also pointed out to the church's role in upbringing of the younger
    generation.

    Asked to comment on concerns that Turkey links normalization of
    relations with Armenia to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
    the President said, "These two processes are not interrelated. We
    need decisions which could secure lasting peace and development of
    the region."
