Sargis Tkhruni Youth Student Union of Social Democratic Hnchak Party
approves the government’s initiative to demolish the summer hall of
Moscow Cinema and erect a church instead. In its statement the union
finds it irrelevant to speak against a church erection when different
sects emerge and numerous moral values vanish in the country day
by day.

"It would be better if grand churches were erected in the capital
center instead of numerous elite buildings," reads the union’s
statement.

Nevertheless, the union has two observations. It demands that
the restored St. Peter and Paul Church be a classical example of
Armenian architecture and not another elite building meeting European
standards. The union also demands that the government care for all
churches since there are numerous neglected churches in the country.
