"Zhoghovurd" daily writes:
"Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has already announced that the Armenian Apostolic Church will release All Armenians from the Catholicos and has taken practical steps. However, in line with his style, not with his face and not with his hands. On September 16, the priest of Hovhannavank, Reverend Aram, said during his interview to the Public Television that after blessing the Prime Minister's hearth in 2021, the leader of Aragatsotn Diocese, Bishop Mkrtich, who is the son of the Catholicos' sister, started persecuting him. He also said that "I participated in all the demonstrations of the opposition in 2021, but not by my own will, but by my superiors."
Here, for this expression, Daniel Ioannisyan's "Union of Informed Citizens" NGO appealed to the law enforcement officers, attaching the interview, demanding to check the elements of coercion. And here, the investigative committee started a process and put Ioannisyan in an uncomfortable situation. without informing him about the course of the case, he started "collecting" 17 clergymen, including the son of the Catholicos' sister, from the night before.
"Zhoghovurd" daily learned that in addition to Ioannisyan, an investigator also reported on this case as a result of the investigative actions, whose name is being ascertained. What happens? In order to satisfy his political demands, Nikol Pashinyan turned investigators, prosecutors, and in fact Ioannisyan against the clergy. "Zhoghovurd" daily learned that the National Security Service entered the house of 17 clergymen and servants for a search, while confiscating the phones of their family members, including minors, and then detaining them all.
Until midnight, most of the clergy were released as witnesses, except for Aragatsotn Diocese leader Mkrtich Bishop Proshyan, Mughnu clergyman, Aragatsotn Diocese diplomat Ter Garegin, and a 60-year-old female financier of the diocese, who will most likely be arrested at the sessions scheduled for tonight. This manuscript is already familiar. first they go in for a search, then a new charge is filed. Yesterday, breaking the church's coffers, the law enforcement officers found, for example, medals, money, gasoline receipts, etc., and showed it, trying to create "robbery nostalgia" for the church among the public. then they will think about whom they can accuse.
Money shots obviously solved the political problem of influencing society. It was the same handwriting in the case of national philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan. At first, Pashinyan's family newspaper wrote that they were searching and arrested the philanthropist, then it turned out that there were no grounds for arrest, they were building a case for hours, which in the end the court considered illegal. But the benefactor was detained. It became known to "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper from the law enforcement circle that although Father Aram did not write direct testimony regarding the leader of his superior diocese, he supposedly gave "black writing" that the son of the Catholicos' sister, what role do the others have in the diocese, what are they doing, etc.
This is how, having neutralized and beheaded the Aragatsotn Diocese by the hand of Lord Aram, Nikol Pashinyan will go to Oshakan next week to participate in Lord Aram's liturgy. The Pashinyan clergyman has already confirmed that he invited the prime minister to the liturgy so that his residents would have the opportunity to ask Pashinyan questions about the village. In other words, there is no regional governor in Aragatsotn, in the person of Sergey Movsisyan, to deliver the messages of the people to the Government, the Lord Father is busy with the problems of the community.
By the way, the planned weddings in Saghmosavank did not take place yesterday, because the clergy were in the investigation room."
