Armenia’s National Security Council (NSC) Secretary named provision of religious security a key priority on NSC agenda.

During the first meeting of the inter-departmental commission for anti-sectarian strategy, Artur Baghdasaryan urged to wage a struggle against destructive sects which pose serious danger to population.

NSC Secretary further briefed the sitting participants about international experience in relevant sector. “Anti-sectarian strategy, currently under development, won’t affect Armenian citizens’ freedom of conscience or religion, instead, providing the state’s integrity,” he stressed.

The sitting continued behind closed doors, with Mr. Baghdasaryan promising to keep media informed about further activities of the commission.
