Kiro Manoyan hails Armenian Muslims' reintegration with Armenian society

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian people must form a unified approach towards Hamshen Armenians and Armenians who've converted to Islam, helping them to reintegrate with the Armenian society, even if they still wish to retain Muslim faith, according to director of the ARF bureau's Hay Dat and political affairs office.“If we accept atheist Armenians, then why should we consider Muslim Armenians unacceptable?” Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

Manoyan welcomed the wish of 200 Hamshen Armenian families from Kirgizia to settle in Artsakh. Manoyan doesn't believe Artsakh's Muslim Armenians settlement in Artsakh dangerous. As he remarked ironically, some Christians are capable of harming Artsakh. According to Manoyan, to populate Artsakh support of the government and well as the whole Armenian nation is necessary.
