Sheikh Nahyan opens Armenian church in Abu Dhabi

A new church was opened in Abu Dhabi on Friday by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development.

Sheikh Nahyan addressed the congregation, saying he hoped the place of worship would help serve the needs of the Armenian community in the capital and the wider UAE.

“This building underscores that the UAE, under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has always been and continues to be a country whose people embrace Islam, the religion that preaches tolerance and respect for other faiths — values which constitute the basic pillars of our country and created the fertile ground where all people live in coexistence, peace and security,” said Sheikh Nahyan.
