Armenian Minister of Agriculture welcomes the established church`s initiative to have its representative to the Armenian Ministry of Agriculture.

Armenian News-NEWS.am reminds readers that Minister Karapetyan and Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II recently reached a relevant agreement.

Journalists asked the minister how he imagines cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture and the church. "Is there anything bad about it? There is no specific goal. I can tell you that agricultural achievements largely depend on God`s blessings. What is strange about it? Did not you hear? Our grandparents would say it. I do not see anything bad about it," Karapetyan said. He added that the ministry plans to cooperate with various agencies to enhance its efficiency.

Responding to a journalist`s remark that the Church`s interference in state affairs is unconstitutional, the minister said: "Who says it is interfering?"
