FOUR ORGANIZATIONS ASK PRIME MINISTER TO PREVENT SHOWING OF “DA
VINCI’S CIPHER” FILM IN COUNTRY’S CINEMAS
YEREVAN, MAY 25, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. 4 Armenian NGOs have
sent a letter to RA Prime Minister Andranik Margarian asking him to
assist to urgent prohibition of showing of the “Da Vinci’s Cipher”
“sacrilegious” film at Yerevan Nairi cinema and the sale of all kinds
of its reproductions. “The agents of the evil infringed the most
sacred thing of our people, the belief of our fathers in God. And who
could imagine a larger abuse than to ascribe human sins to the son of
God, Jesus Christ, who was sent to give absolution our sins,” the
letter, in particular read. Those who signed under the letter,
Chairmen of the Armenian Constitutional Human Rights Center, Armenian
Center for Integration and Democracy, Mission Armenia NGO Gevorg
Manukian, Karen Asatrian, Hripsime Kirakosian and head of the Husaber
charity foundation Babken priest Hayrapetian emphasize that the Mother
See of Holy Echmiadzin has clearly announced about impermissibility of
showing the film but “your order is also necessary for hampering the
showing.”
