ARMENIANS WANT GAREGIN II TO RESIGN

Akhali Taoba reports that the negative attitude towards Garegin II is
increasing every day in Armenia. Local media outlets do not hide their
negative opinions towards him and now a Facebook group has been created
demanding Garegin II’s resignation. Panarmenian.net, an Armenian
news agency reported about this new group first and in that time the
Facebook group had only 67 members which has now increased. A question
was asked whether Garegin II should be abandoned by the Armenian
church and 1560 persons answered positively, 221 answered negatively.

This negative attitude among Armenians increased when Garegin II said
that he does not care about the churches located in mountains. This
statement was followed by a big protest from society stating that
it is impossible for the Catholicos not to care about mountainous
monasteries.

Currently Armenia demands that Georgia gives it 5 churches in Tbilisi
and 1 in Akhaltsikhe. According to one newspaper it is interesting
that Garegin II cares for the churches in Georgia when he does not
care Armenian churches located in mountainous regions of his country.
