"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"The fact that Grigor Parsyan, the brother of Kapan community leader Gevorg Parsyan, took over the honorable task of covering the cross of St. Mesrop Mashtots Church in Kapan at the Christmas Mass has become a topic of intense discussion in Kapan. The point is that Grigor Parsyan or, as he is known in Kapan, Grishik, is considered a problem-solving boy in the city, a thief.
"He leads all the battles himself, everyone is proud of him," said our source, saying that the community did not definitely accept that the Armenian Apostolic Church granted that holy status to the thief.
By the way, in previous years the governor of the region, Robert Ghukasyan, was the khachkavor of the church, this year he rejected the offer, probably the political differences with Parsyan have deepened so much that the Kalavani does not want to face him often."
