"Yesterday, Nikol Pashinyan made specific threats and sent signals at a briefing called at the CP office within the framework of CP internal party elections.
Referring to inviting the Episcopal Assembly abroad, he said: "The profound initiative of convening an Episcopal meeting outside Armenia is to take the Catholicosate of the Armenian Apostolic Church out of Armenia and to strengthen the circumstance of the puppet Catholicosate in the hands of some forces and to use it as a tool against Armenia," he said.
Pashinyan also responded to a number of Diaspora Armenian figures who condemned the government's campaign against the Armenian Apostolic Church and called on them not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Church. "There will be a very tough opposition, we will direct the eyes of those who have their eyes on the treasures of Etchmiadzin to a completely different direction, to reach the Republic of Armenia by all means," he said.
Nikol Pashinyan also announced that if necessary, he will resort to "additional measures", threatening and making it clear in the footnote that even force will be used. "This story is to take Catholicism out of Armenia, along with the treasures of Etchmiadzin, and I will not allow it.
If additional measures need to be taken for this, additional measures will be taken. We will not allow it." Pashinyan even joked that "they want to jump up and down, but they won't let them." It turns out that the Episcopal meeting to be held on February 16-19 is in danger, and the safety of the Catholicos and bishops is also in danger. Official sources of "Zhoghovurd" daily report that Pashinyan is very determined this time.
In private conversations with his teammates, he stated that he will no longer tolerate the actions of the Catholicos. In short, the law enforcement officers will take more drastic measures in the coming days."
