At the “Zvartnots” airport in Yerevan, the National Security Service forbade 2 priests to return to the Russian Federation to continue their spiritual service. The information is reported by journalist Suzi Badoyan.

The journalist also noted that the priests are spiritual ministers of the Armenian churches of Voronezh and Izhevsk.

According to the information of Sputnik Armenia, one of the priests was not allowed to leave the country, being taken to training camps.

Let’s remind that the assistant to the head of the staff of the RA Prime Minister, Taron Chakhoyan, announced before the NA elections that “those who came from Russia with election bribes will be involved in 25-day training camps, and those who refuse will be subject to criminal responsibility.” The next morning, the news spread that when crossing the border checkpoint, the military police officers of the RA Ministry of Defense issue notices to the men to participate in the 25-day training.

RA Defense Minister Suren Papikyan, referring to this news, stated that if the person arriving in RA is a soldier, then he has a debt to his homeland. To the journalist’s question whether what was said refers only to those arriving from Russia, Papikyan said that it is not only about Russia, but also about France, the USA and other countries.
