Intensification of religious structures' activities is caused by Armenian government’s decision to introduce amendments to laws on religious structures, according to the head of the centre for aid and rehabilitation to the victims of destructive cults.

As Alexander Amaryan told a PanAREMENIAN.Net reporter, “to secure aid from foreign organisations, sectarians insinuate being pressured in Armenia. Since no structure in Armenia is authorised to pressure the sects, the pressure is being imitated.”

Besides, the expert explained activation of religious sects by the oncoming parliamentary and presidential elections in Armenia. As he noted, through their actions the sectarians attempt to offer themselves as a 300000-member electorate to party leaders.
