Bishop hails religious freedom enjoyed by Armenians in Iran

Sari, IRNA – Catholic Bishop Sarkis Davidian has said that Armenians living in Iran enjoy religious and social freedom thanks to the attitudes of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

The bishop made the comment on Sunday in the northern city of Nour, Mazandaran province, as he met with the provincial governor on Christmas and on the eve of the New Year.

We are living in Iran freely and should be grateful to the leader of the Islamic Revolution for that, Davidian said.

“Thanks to his kindness, Armenians are in peace and enjoy religious and social freedoms,” the bishop added.

The head of Armenian Catholic diocese of Iran also praised the country for its efforts to ensure peace and tranquility in the region, saying that respected individuals such as Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, and recently, Brigadier General Seyyed Razi Mousavi, have sacrificed their lives as part of those efforts.

The bishop meanwhile condemned the Israeli regime’s crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, as well as “vicious policies” of major powers.
