The former Minister of Health, now a member of the Communist Party of Armenia, Arsen Torosyan, who is a well-known atheist and anti-church, made a post yesterday against the Armenian Apostolic Church.
"All at once, a very heavy fate has befallen our people. In addition to the fact that he has to break more than 100 years of myths and stereotypes in order to navigate this stormy sea, in fact, he also has to finally and fundamentally break a 1700-year-old myth, although he partially did this by establishing a state. But since the church reveals its real goals, which is to sacrifice RA statehood for its internal and external group interests, playing with the faith and feelings of its followers, splurging on false promises, the people must give a final assessment to that structure and its state-destructive goals. The church's direct contribution to the destruction of Armenian statehood, which has been repeated many times during the 1700-year history, will be exhausted, the Republic of Armenia will not fall."
We asked Archbishop Arshak Khachatryan, the diplomat of the Holy Mother See of Etchmiadzin, to comment on this post.
He said.
"I don't think there is a need to comment on nonsense. I will only add that in order to appear intellectual, one should not consider obvious realities as mythology, but first of all, one should use the free services of the brain."
