YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: The youth wing of the ruling
Republican party said Saturday it will shoot a series of video films
based on experiences and ordeals of destroyed families and ruined
people who were members of various totalitarian religious sects.

Armen Ashotian, who heads the youth wing of the party, told Armenpress
that part of materials was provided by Shoghakat Television, run by
the Armenian Apostolic Church.

He said the objective of this action is to force the people’s attention
to pressing problems stirred up by religious sects. “We shall work
to show the real face of the evil hidden behind the sects,” he said,
hoping for cooperation of local commercial televisions.

He also said the wing will work with students of secondary schools,
as the majority of teachers teaching the History of the Armenian
Church are incompetent.
