Russian Ambassador: The issues of peace and security are extremely urgent today, both in the world and in the region

ArmInfo. The issues of peace and security are extremely urgent today, both in the world and in the region. This is stated in the welcoming address of the Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin to the participants of the forum "The Regional World: Reality and Opportunities", read by the Embassy's adviser, Alexander Vasilyev.

The Ambassador focused on the difficult situation in the Middle East: "The fire of the war was ready to spread to other countries of the region, but thanks to the efforts of the Syrian authorities, as well as of Russia and Iran, it was avoided." Today, terrorist groups are almost defeated in Syria, but to restore peace and security, elimination of the consequences of this evil requires a consistent effort. " At the same time, he stressed the need for a consolidated fight against international terrorism to establish peace and security in all corners of the world.

Meanwhile, Imam of the Blue Mosque of Yerevan Ali Shajan noted that the most important step in the way of peace and security is acquaintance with each other. According to him, it is necessary to ensure familiarity of Christianity with Islam. In this context, he quoted from the Koran: "The Koran calls on believers to live in peace with their neighbors." The Koran clearly states that it is necessary to stay away from Satan's exhortation. "The world exists for all mankind and the world is good for all mankind. Forum is a great opportunity to get to know each other. "
