"Zhoghovurd" daily writes:
"The authorities, represented by Nikol Pashinyan, are not going to "back down" from the campaign against the church. Sources close to the government of "Zhoghovurd" daily report that the campaign against the Catholicos will continue, the authorities will criticize him on a daily basis, urging him to resign. And Pashinyan will try to gather around him those clergy who are ready to march with him to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
According to our government sources, in Pashinyan's opinion, the time to go to the Vehara is not yet ripe, so they will continue to gather people during liturgies in Hovhannavank, and when they notice that the number of people is increasing, they will walk to the Mother See accompanied by Pashinyan.
According to our information, Stepan Asatryan (formerly Ter Aram), who was declared a rebel, has also assured that a large "army" will gather around him and they will be able to take steps regarding the removal of the Catholicos. In short, Pashinyan is waiting for the unification of the public to go to the Mother See, which did not happen this Sunday, because instead of the "10,000 people" they said, they managed to "take" 1,000 people to the Hovhannavank liturgy with the help of state resources.
Pashinyan is very dissatisfied with the result."
