Narek Karapetyan, an MP from the Strong Armenia bloc, has made a statement.
“The Armenian authorities are taking a shameful step of pressure, and an unprecedented case will go down in history.
The Catholicos of All Armenians has been summoned to court as a defendant. Tomorrow, we will not be in the National Assembly. We will be in Vagharshapat with our compatriots at 4:00 p.m., so that everyone can see that playing with our religious feelings will have consequences.
Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., I will be outside the Echmiadzin court. We will be there,” Karapetyan said.
