Hovik Abrahamyan: “Armenian Legislation on Freedom of Conscience Should Comply with European Standards”
On 31 March 2009 President of the National Assembly Mr Hovik Abrahamyan received the
Representative of the Armenian Missionary Association in Armenia Reverend Rene Leonian.
The interlocutors discussed the issues related to the draft law On Making Amendments and Addenda to the Law of Armenia On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations. The President of the National Assembly informed his interlocutor that the draft law had been sent to the CoE Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR for receiving their joint expert conclusion. Mr. Abrahamyan stressed that the Armenian Legislation On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations should comply with the European standards.
Reverend Leonian expressed his gratitude to the President of the National Assembly for organizing discussions with religious organizations on the draft law in the parliament. Both sides highlighted the role of the Armenian Apostolic Church and its place in the public life, and condemned the attempts of proselytizing under the veil of humanitarian assistance.
During the discussion Reverend Leonian also presented to the President of the Parliament the activities of the Armenian Missionary Association both in Diaspora and in Armenia, introducing the programs of the organization in the humanitarian, educational, cultural and other spheres.
