PanARMENIAN.Net - In recent days, representatives of a new sect named
the Awakening Bridge Church have been distributing booklets in Yerevan.
The sectarians are inviting people to celebrate Easter Holidays, promising
their guests a concert, refreshments and a dance evening.
Beside, every Sunday, the sect invites people for joint prayers to a concert
hall at Sayat-Nova 15 address.
The sect representatives promised PanARMENIAN.Net reporter a two-hour
entertainment, insisting on their organisation being a branch of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
“Almost all religious groups in Armenia are involved in various kinds of
business activity,” the head of center of rehabilitation and assistance
to the victims of destructive cults stated earlier.
“Religious group are engaged in gold and diamond buying and selling,
foodstuffs production and hotel business,” Alexander Amaryan told a news conference in Yerevan.
“The failure to establish control over the religious sects is a blunder
of the authorities,” he emphasized. “Religious organizations have
matured in soul hunting and are penetrating not only into public but also political affairs.”
