ARMENPRESS
June 26
The government of Armenia decided today to declare June 30, Monday,
a non-working day and June 28, Saturday, a working day.
The decision is based on the proposal of the Armenian Apostolic Church,
which said it would like Monday to be a non-working day as that day
the Armenian Church remembers all the deceased people.
Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian said the decision was welcomed by
Catholicos Karekin II, head of the Church. Tigran Sarkisian said hence
five days a year which the Church marks as day of remembrance of all
the deceased will be declared non-working.
He said the decision is based on the Law on Consciousness and Religious
Organizations.
