Today, the Armenian Aryan Union issued a statement congratulating Bolivian President Morales for launching a drive to return to the native faith of his ancestors. President Morales, a representative of the indigenous Indian community, has declared that Bolivia is no longer a Roman Catholic state and that this religion could no longer be considered the official state religion. President Morales has stressed that 85% of Bolivia's population is ethnic Indian who follow the faith of their ancestors and that thus these religious tenets should be restored. He also noted that the native Indian language might be declared an official language of the state alongside Spanish. The Aryan Union statement notes that the Armenian-Aryan community also has its ancient faith and adoration of the Armenian gods of yore and that it places great importance on the decisive step taken by the Bolivian president designed to return the country and people back to their original roots. It concludes that such a move also awaits the Armenian people.
