The Verkhovna Rada Committee for Humanitarian and Information Policy recommended that MPs adopt as a basis and as a whole the draft resolution on the appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers with a proposal to terminate the lease contract with the Pochaiv Lavra on the use of the monastery buildings, reports the VR press service.
The Committee proposed its own, "more correct" name for this resolution: "On the appeal of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to terminate the agreement with the Pochaiv Lavra on the free use of the complex of buildings of the Pochaiv Lavra”.
"In order to protect the national space, to prevent manifestations of information propaganda by representatives of the UOC, and also to restore the rule of law and historical justice, the draft decree proposes to address the government on the urgent check of compliance with the terms of the contract for the use of the complex of buildings of the Pochaiv Lavra and other property, which is state property," reports the press service.
It also informs that "invited experts", in particular the head of the State Service for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience, Viktor Yelensky, took part in the discussion of the draft.
As reported, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee for Humanitarian and Information Policy, Nikita Poturaev, said that the draft resolution submitted to the parliament "strongly recommends" that the Cabinet of Ministers follow the same path regarding the Pochaiv Lavra "as the state did regarding the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra".
