Many centuries Armenian nation and the Armenian church have fought to protect our unique spiritual and cultural heritage. We respected also spiritual and cultural uniqueness of the neighboring nations.
However there are sects which pose a danger. There are also some anti-religious organizations, social groups which pose a danger. Emo, Gots, satanists, anti-christs belong to those organizations. Majority of them pose a danger when their representatives serve in the army, since for them life is not worth. The culmination of their ideology is suicide.

The visit of EU High Commissioner Catherine Ashton to Iran, her visit of the Armenian Church and Genocide Museum in Isfahan spawned a great wave of protest in Iran’s Azeri-populated regions. However, I think, this is a sign which shows that Iran is with us.
