“The Supreme Court should not enter the court
In 1903, when the Armenian patriarch Khrimyan Hayrik was returning to Armenia from Tiflis, and he had gone to Tiflis to meet with the viceroy of the Caucasus Galitsin, to discuss the sad decision of the tsarist government to confiscate Armenian church and monastic property on June 12, 1903 and was refused, Gyumri people lay down on the train tracks in Alexandropol. the train moves forward. They demanded that the Pope come out and speak to his flock.
Before that, the Russian high-ranking leadership and military command of Alexandropol wanted to honor Khrimyan Hayrik, but received a rude response. The Catholicos told the scepter to convey to them that I do not want to see their faces. And when the train horns sounded after a short stop, the people lay down on the train tracks, demanding Khrimyan Hayrik to come out and meet the people. That day, the Catholicos spent the night in the presbytery of Alexandropol, and there, to the people’s demand, “Father, you should not give away the estates”, the response of the Khrimian Father was heard: “No, my dears, Father will not give away the estates.”
What do I want to say? today is the trial of the Catholicos of All Armenians. If we have any dignity left in us, we should not allow Veh to enter the court. An end to this disgrace must be given.
If Veh entered the court and stood before the court, know that everything is over and it is today.”
