Behind every story, there is the human. I believe that faith, as well as religion, have an important to decisive role in both the private and public life of people, influencing decision-making. Their role is equally important in the development of society and interstate relations, while they influence political, economic, diplomatic, etc. developments. The coverage of these issues contributes to the understanding of human and society.
