Response of Mother See: disgrace of global proportions and nationwide tragedy

“A disgrace of global proportions, a nationwide tragedy, a brand on the forehead and soul of everyone.” This was written by Archimandrite Asoghik Karapetyan, Director of the Archives and Museums of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.

“This contemptible and vile encroachment on the Holy Anointing and the divine greatness of the Armenian Patriarch will receive not only a just verdict, but also a terrible divine punishment,” Father Asoghik wrote.

It should be noted that today the prosecutor’s office initiated criminal proceedings against the Catholicos of All Armenians and banned him from leaving the country.
