If the Pope says about gays, “who am I to judge them,” it absolutely does not mean that the leader of Catholic Church supports and encourages this disease. No Christian priest, and in general, no Christian can have a positive attitude toward the sin of Sodom. The matter is completely different, we, the mortals, can not ordain a judge onto anyone’s head, because none of us is embodiment of perfection. And one who becomes so proud that to some extent considers himself perfect, its end is usually bad.
Simple, clear values, I do not think that they are 100% European or even purely Christian, but all nations, I am sure, should strive to it. Have your own life, your beliefs, your views, but never consider them a model for others. There is nothing bad about it. And the question here is not only and not so much sexual as the principles of which the political and social life, business and culture are organized.
EU-Armenia negotiations have been successfully completed. I do not know whether our government will find arguments that will convince Russians not to be very much jealous and not to threaten us with terrible consequences. We hope that such arguments will be found, we are obliged to maintain allied relations with Russia. But one thing I am sure that the contract to be initiated in Vilnius on November 29 has nothing to do with gay marriages or gay – parades permitting. These stories are spread by the agents of Russian influence, and some of our fellow citizens tend to believe in brutal campaigns. I have no doubt that such laws will NEVER be passed in Armenia, I rarely write certitudes about the future of such a degree, but this is precisely the case.
The problem, of course, is the lack of information. It seems to me that our diplomats render excessive secrecy regarding the documents to be signed. Not everyone of Armenians knows that the approval of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area is the major element of the Association Agreement between our country and the EU, and the abnormal sexual orientations. Therefore, we, the media, and the officials, and politicians should be more focused on what kind of benefits or losses we may expect from such trade zone, and not to play populism about non-existent “blue colors”.
