| Sumario: | Is a theory of covenantal pluralism applicable to the Armenian case? In order to answer these and other questions, the author makes a comparative analysis of three successive periods, the imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet, in terms of conditions, social and political contexts, and cultural specificities of religious coexistence. As a result, she identifies three approaches, classical imperial, Soviet nation-based, and post-Soviet pluralist, which offer different models of coexistence and tries to define whether they have been effective and able to guarantee a real, long-term and dignified peace. According to the author, the current situation in democratic Armenia can be described as an alienating secularism, which offers constitutional equality, legal defense, and freedom of religious choice, but does not interfere in relations between denominations and religious communities, nor does it offer policies or strategies aimed at developing covenantal relations between them. |
