TEHRAN – President Mahmud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that there
is no religious discrimination in Iran and followers of different
religions are living in the country peacefully.

Followers of different religions in Iran are living side by side and
they share each other’s sorrow and joy, Ahmadinejad said in a meeting
with Bishop of Armenian Orthodox Church in Cilici Aram I Keshishian.

The problems of mankind result from atheism, said the president.

Ahmadinejad stated that mankind is frustrated with the situation
of the world and is waiting for the savior. Islam and Christianity
believe that one day the savior will come and this is the source of
unity between the followers of divine religions, he opined.

War, occupation, aggression, discrimination, and poverty must be
eradicated in the world, Ahmadinejad stressed. If the religious
faithful stay together they can play a constructive role in ending
the current crises in the world, he added.

Keshishian, for his part, expressed satisfaction that all religious
minorities live peacefully in Iran.

"In Iran, Armenians live with Muslims in friendship and brotherhood,"
he stressed.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
