Armenian hosts anti-Armenian shows in U.S.?

The head of information and analytical International ArmInfoCenter Armen Ter-Sargsyan issued a letter to President Serzh Sargysan and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, calling their attention to a series of anti-Armenian and anti-Christian “Louys Ashkhar” U.S.-based shows.

As Ter-Sargsyan noted, recent shows featured provoking discussions on a book of Armenian Church History.

“The host, Stepan Kiremidjian, along with show participants, criticized the book, drawn up and published by Holy Etchmiadzin and Armenian Ministry of Education,” the statement said.

Ter-Sargsyan further accused Kiremidjian of cynically distorting the meaning and goals of the Holy Book, describing it as promoting anti-human, immoral, and Jewish Zionist principles.

“We urge the Holy See and Education Ministry to take drastic steps in order to curb destabilizing and provoking influence of the show,” the statement stressed.
