    ARMENIAN YOUTH READ BIBLE IN OPEN AIR IN YEREVAN

    Tert.am
    21:17 31.10.11

    A group of Armenian youth read the Bible in the open air near Alexander
    Tamanyan's Statue in central Yerevan on Sunday to demonstrate that
    it is not only the sect members who read it.

    The flesh mob was initially announced on social networking website
    Facebook with more than 70 youngsters saying they will attend the
    event.

    Gor Karapetyan, one of the organizers of the campaign, said that the
    initiative aims two goals.

    "First, preservation of moral values; the Bible is the main source
    ... Second, to deny the widely spread view in the society that it is
    only the sectarians - [Jehovah's] witnesses, Mormons who read that
    Bible," said he.

    "We have come to prove that the Bible is read in Armenia in general,"
    he added.

    Tatevik Hovsepyan, 20, a participant of the campaign, said the move
    is aimed at questioning the view that those who read the Bible are
    considered to be "old-fashioned" and "strange" in Armenia.

    "There is no such thing. We intend to prove that reading the Bible is
    not strange, bur rather a normal phenomenon in the Armenian family,
    among Armenian youth," she explained.

    The organizers said that the initiative was succeeded, adding that
    they will share impressions and decide further activities in Facebook.
