Yerevan, October 15: The leader of the Armenian Apostolic Church,
Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II expressed concern today in
connection with the official registration of the Jehovah’s Witnesses
religious sect in Armenia.

The Mediamax news agency reports that at a meeting with the monastery
clergymen and community of the Holy See at Echmiadzin, the Catholicos
described as “wrong and unfair” accusations that the Armenian Apostolic
Church clergymen do not entirely fulfil their spiritual mission.

“Garegin II also described as inadmissible the arguments made in
support of the decision to register the totalitarian sect,” the press
service at Saint Echmiadzin told Mediamax news agency.
