The period of decline of the ancient religion of Armenia

The 21st edition of the “Voice of Ararat” program of “Azat Dzain” news agency is dedicated to the period of decline of the ancient religion and worldview of Armenia.

The revaluation of material values forced the Armenians to move away from their roots, value system and faith.

The barbarian invasions of Alexander the Great played a role in all this.

The guest of the program is historian Gurgen Karapetyan.
