DISINFO: The European Parliament lists the Russian Orthodox Church as terrorists

SUMMARY

The European Parliament entered the Russian Orthodox Church into the black list and equated it with terrorism.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation that appeared a year ago in Georgian news portal Mediacity.ge. The resolution clearly singles out propaganda from a state actor (Russia) and non-state actors (Daesh/ISIS), but the Russian Orthodox Church is not mentioned in the text at all.
