Amid ongoing protests against Catholicos Garegin II’s rule, the Armenian Church today held a Supreme Spiritual Council Assembly sitting, chaired by the Catholicos himself.
The Assembly decided to defrock Koryun Arakelyan, the priest who is leading the protests. But the Catholicos himself halted the decision, calling for love and understanding. The Assembly subsequently issued a one-week deadline for the protesters to cease their actions.
Earlier the protesters had even breached into the Armenian Church HQ and began a sit-in. Only after few days police intervened.
Dr. Hermon Mihranian says
To it looks that the new government has too fare. How come that now everybody is corrupt?
Why the new Yerevan Authorities are destroying the Armenian Church?
Really what is going on and in whose face are they working?
Why they are not working to improve conditions in Armenia?
The destruction of the Armenian Church will split Armenians. Thus destroying it.
