 POLITICAL PARTY OF REGIONS IS FOR THE FREEDOM OF EVANGELICAL CHURCHES IN UKRAINE
As it has become known Party of Regions with its leader Victor Yanukovich took the position to defend the freedom of faith of Christians in Ukraine. Particularly Law project of bringing amendments and additions to the Law of Ukraine “About freedom of conscience and religious organizations” regarding prohibition activity of totalitarian religion sects (#5473) that was made in 2009 was declined by initiator.
Despite this political opponents of the Party of Regions are trying to speculate on believers’ feelings and in every possible way intimidate by churches’ activity prohibition.
Famous human rights activist of Evangelical churches of Ukraine, Vladimir Shushkevich gave explanations regarding this situation: “I hold numerous meetings with Christians around all of Ukraine and when I hearing about such prohibitions I would like to note that this is typical pre-electoral provocations of Party of Regions opponents. I would like to ask all people of good will, citizens of Ukraine to be wise and sober-minded and do not give in to political speculations”
“I think such an intimidation of believers demonstrates Party of Regions’ opponents’ delusive way and is a pointless endeavor to slander Party of Regions. As it’s already known, Party of Regions propagandize democratic principles and freedom and more than once supported the most defenseless, neglected and forsaken citizens of our country.
Spirituality and faith became a corner stone of Party of Regions activity and that’s why they find full support in our hearts. It is obvious that Party of Region is moved by eternal values that we keep on preaching in our churches, values that will become a foundation of the future prosperity in Ukraine,” – noted V. Shushkevich, national deputy of the 3rd call of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
In order to summarize everything that is happening Vladimir Shushkevich claimed: “Today God gave us decisive voice to the future of Ukraine and the future of our children. We depend on fundamental changes and unity of Christians and believe what Solomon said will take place: “ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. (Eccl. 5:9)”
