Kievers Are Not Against Armenian Church

Hierarchs of Ukrainian Orthodox Church have denounced the action of protest against the construction of an Armenian church.

April 18, 2006
A group of people from Kiev's "Podol" residential area recently organized an action of protest against the construction of an Armenian church in their district. Protestors destroyed the fence around construction area. Several radical pensioners claiming to speak on behalf of all the inhabitants from neighboring houses, threaten with organizing a sit-down strike on central roadways if the municipality does not reconsider the decision on giving land to the local eparchy of Armenian Apostolic Church. The quarrel is already gaining political coloring, whereas in reality the conflict is not worth that at all.
