Today will take place the Catholicos of All Armenians H.S.O.T. The first court hearings in the criminal case against Garegin B. Nersisyan and six bishops (archbishops), this case was transferred to the Court of First Instance of Armavir Region and assigned to Judge Hakob Manukyan.

The Catholicos of All Armenians is accused of the act that he, being also the president of the Supreme Spiritual Council, using his official powers, allegedly obstructed the execution of the decision of the Court of General Jurisdiction of Armavir Region (Judge Edgar Hovhannisyan) regarding another judicial act that entered into legal force:

Former director of Yeghishe Charents Literature and Art Museum, writer, literary critic Karo Vardanyan according to the assessment, what is happening is the shame of the Armenian nation.

“Under this government, not only His Holiness, but all of us are already in that “sinner” status. The whole country is guilty that these people are in power, and we accepted them, it’s not enough, they go and elect them for the 3rd time, so how is the guilt? This is already the malignant type of that sin, which is incurable.

We have no excuse, I can imagine the worst of them. The rest is already ahead, long and intense court hearings, to which, I am afraid, this will accustom us, he will start talking about looting and taming his crowd more energetically.” of 168.am Karo Vardanyan said in a conversation with

According to our interlocutor, it should not be expected that the followers of the Apostolic Church should flood the court yard today, because what they were going to do, they should have done months ago, when the government started targeting the Saint.

“There should be not 1,000 or 2,000 people in the courtyard of the court, but a whole nation, as is the case during the organized cases of some figures. Today, Nikol Pashinyan is dragging our faith to the dirty court, our religion is being judged today, this is not the question of His Holiness, this is the question of all of us,” added Karo Vardanyan.

According to him, he is often asked where Armenia is going, especially from the regions, especially the young people who still have to live in this country.

“In Yerevan, we don’t know many people, we don’t know who is standing in front of us in the market or in public transport, but in the regions we almost all know each other. It is ten times harder for conscious people there, they know who they should beware of, who they should stay away from, so as not to betray them.

I always have an answer: find people like you, let’s comfort each other. One day, the end of these will come, I don’t know what ruins will be left of our country, in the end we need a handful of Armenians to be repaired. Today, a conscious Armenian should not succumb to their current and say: what happened, everyone is like that, I will be like that too. This is the worst mentality, I repeat, in the end we need at least a pure-blooded Armenian,” emphasized Karo Vardanyan.
