Vitaly Naumkin: “We must stand up for the cultural and religious diversity of the Middle East”

 


Member of the Russia – Islamic World group Vitaly Naumkin took part in the launch of the book 'Middle East Christians: Past, Present, Future?' by Alexey Sarabyev.

 

 



He praised the book's relevance.

 

 



"The book highlights concerns for Christians in the Middle East. However, Levant is a great place because it is home to the oldest Christian communities. The question about the future of Middle East Christians raised in the last chapter is a relevant one. We must stand up for the cultural and religious diversity of the Middle East. The people of the region have served as an example of how you can live side by side over many centuries," said Mr. Naumkin.

 



The book launch was organized by the Russia – Islamic World group.
