UOC denies any relation to the conference to be held in March in Lugansk

The Information Department of the UOC diocese of Lugansk issued a statement refuting the information that the diocese of Lugansk is a co-organizer of the conference "Personality-society-state: the social space and security" to be held in Lugansk on March 23-24, 2017, reports the website of the diocese.

The statement was published "in connection with the information of the conference "Personality-society-state: the social space and security" to be held in Lugansk on March 23-24, 2017, which appeared in online resources."

"The UOC diocese of Lugansk has no relation to the organization and holding of the above-mentioned conference," said the statement.
