The website quoted Ayetullah Vahid Horasani as saying that “Christianity and all other non-Muslim religions are vicious and must be eliminated.” As media department advisor at the Iranian embassy, Mr. Hamid Murathani said in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, “taking into account the doubtfulness of the source and respect of the Iranian leaders and people towards national minorities as well as Iran’s efforts for establishment of inter-confessional dialogue, spreading of such misinformation aims to cause a split between religions.”   Top stories The number of state universities will be reduced from 23 to 8 by 2030, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan has said.
