According to some reports, the reason for taking a "timeout" in the campaign against the Church and the Holy See was the liturgy of the Sevan church, which Nikol Pashinyan, attending without preparation, hoped that the priest would be afraid and disparage the name of the Catholicos when he saw him.
However, it can be said that he received a slap in the face, because the priest who performed the liturgy did not deviate from the canonical order and pronounced the name of the Catholicos. According to those around him, Pashinyan took that liturgy hard and realized that his anti-church actions were not perceived positively by the public.
Therefore, he told the team that they should forget about this topic during the pre-election period, considering that if they win the elections, "Ktrich Nersisyan" has no chance to stay, he will leave voluntarily.
