🇦🇲Instead of carrying out their direct responsibilities, the authorities have once again encroached on the Church, says a statement by the Supreme Spiritual Council of the Armenian Apostolic Church

🔘 The statement notes that it is perplexing that, amid numerous challenges and external threats, the ruling force, while discussing the government’s program, is violating the Constitution and ignoring international law;

🔘 Seeking to discredit the Church and denigrate its congregation, the authorities accuse the Armenian Apostolic Church of being a “foreign agent” and a “state within a state.” The Church is labeled part of the “party of war” and described as a “threat to the country’s security,” following Etchmiadzin’s statements about the violated rights of Armenians from Artsakh and Armenian prisoners held in Baku;

🔘 The Supreme Spiritual Council states that fabricated accusations and the criminal prosecution of the Catholicos are being used to artificially create grounds for interference in the Church’s internal affairs. The government has no authority to include the “improvement of the Church” as part of the Cabinet’s program or to impose its proposals.
