“I am not concerned about the criticism of the cooperation between the church and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I think that one shouldn’t be concerned about separate criticisms, which mainly aim at getting some money from another ‘human rights-charitable’ foundation and writing another slander about the church and the Ministry of Education and Science. That is their job, perhaps, they haven’t found any other job in the labor market and took that small, not so honorable, but existing job as labor that has to try to pointlessly, groundlessly and meaninglessly criticize the cooperation between the church and the ministry for certain reasons,” Armen Ashotyan, the Minister of Education and Science, said during a conversation with www.aravot.am.
According to the minister, “The best way to block this criticism is the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia and the Cooperation With the Holy Apostolic Church Act. If they had read the act again and treated the issue seriously, they themselves would have considered the matter closed long ago.”
