"According to the information received by "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper, Ter Asoghik Abegha Karapetyan, director of the Museums and Archives of the Mother See of Saint Etchmiadzin, was summoned to the investigative committee of RA this morning. According to the exclusive information we received, the interrogation is related to the information that appeared in the press about Saint Geghard.
According to the press, "in 2018, it became known that a piece of St. Geghard was sold to the governor of St. Petersburg. In response to this information, the director of the Museums and Archives of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, Ter Asoghik Abegha Karapetyan, issued a public statement. "In these holy days, when we should experience with our whole being the great and wonderful mystery of the Christmas of our Lord Jesus Christ, schismatic and profane persons have appeared who sow temptation and error, spreading all lies and falsehoods.
Now it is the turn of Saint Geghard, one of the holy places of the Armenian Church, as if it was sold, divided, given to this or that. It is certain whose evil and dark mind is the work of this regular ugliness, reprehensible act. wicked and rebellious, disobedient, more than that, of a few churchmen and their satellites of disorganized revolutionaries...
Let it be known to everyone again (which is VERY WELL known to all those slanderers who are now in order and no longer in order) that all the sanctities and relics of the Mother See are kept unharmed and intact, with all responsibility and sanctity in the Treasury of St. Etchmiadzin."
It turns out that there is a proceeding in the Armenian Investigative Committee regarding the information that "a piece of St. Geghard was sold to the governor of St. Petersburg", within the framework of which Ter Asoghik Abegha Karapetyan, director of the Museums and Archives of the Mother See of St. Etchmiadzin, was summoned for questioning.
