Head of the Department of Spiritual Culture of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, Irina Polyakova, noted: “It is important that the understanding of the power of spiritual culture is increasingly confirmed both among religious institutions and society as a whole. The Assembly of the Peoples of Eurasia, from the first days of its existence, has been advocating the unity of people of different cultures and faiths for the sake of stability and development of the entire world community".
