There have been attacks against the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church and the Supreme Patriarch for the past two and a half years. This is what Spokesperson of the Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov told reporters in Etchmiadzin today. Sharmazanov was at St. Gayane Church to express his support to the Catholicos of All Armenians along with several other citizens.
 
“Some people have recently been trying to cast a shade on the Armenian Church and the Supreme Patriarch again. In our turn, first, we came to attend the Sunday Holy Mass, and second, we are here to express solidarity with the Armenian Holy Apostolic Church and the Supreme Patriarch. I think there would be provocations, if there weren’t a large number of people here today. If we united around the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin like this two and a half years ago, nobody would dare to be disrespectful towards the Supreme Patriarch. We will always stand with the Armenian Church so that nobody dares to disrespect our sanctities,” he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
