Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has no religious character

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has no religious character and religion between the two countries should not be allowed to oppose each other, said President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.

He was addressing a meeting of the CIS Presidium of the Interreligious Council in Yerevan on Monday, RIA Novosti reported. Sargsyan noted that it is impermissible to destroy cultural, historical and religious monuments under the guise of the conflict.

In his remarks Catholicos of All Armenians Karegin II noted the importance of the meeting in terms of finding solutions to existing problems. "The meetings of religious leaders will contribute further strengthening and development of relations between nations," Karegin II said.
