Political scientist Stepan Danielyan writes:
"Forcible change of the Catholicos, if successful, will have a geopolitical nature, which is fraught with serious consequences. Let's assume for a moment that it succeeds and the Catholicos is "elected by the people". The question arises that the people will choose "Real Armenia" and the other parts.
Let's suppose that the people of non-"Real Armenia", let's say the followers of the Armenian Church of Russia, do not accept the election of the people of "Real Armenia", and a part of the people of America and France accept and the other part does not, let's put aside the Armenian people of Argentina, Paraguay and Bulgaria.
Let's also put aside the non-real part of Armenia. Let me remind you that the Catholicos is not only the Catholicos of the citizens of Armenia, not only the brain mormok of "Real Armenia", but of all Armenians. By an approximate calculation, we will have about 17 new Catholicos who will hate each other, including the new communities of these new Catholicos will feel alienated from each other. Every superpower, not even a superpower, where there is a diocese of the Armenian Church, will appoint a Catholicos for itself, based on its political and geopolitical interests, and that is still a good option.
For example, taking into account the current political situation in Georgia, they should have a 5th Column Armenian Church in their country, they will close it and the topic will be over.
And this from the first pop-up look, in reality the consequences will be even more catastrophic. Try to guess who in the atmosphere of widespread hatred feels like a fish in water, moreover, feeds on hatred and receives vital energy.
