Religious organisations
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and Transcendental Meditation organisations are both active in Armenia[3]. In 1990 ISKCON was, for the first time, officially registered as a religion in Armenia. There are now about 250 ISKCON members resident in Armenia and ISKCON maintains congregations in the towns of Gyumri, Kirovakan, Yeghegnadzor, Kapan and Ashtarak. Members of ISKCON have complained of harassment by the local government and police, as well as by the Armenian Apostolic church.[4]
