The call of the Prime Minister of Armenia Pashinyan, gathered near the Mother See, depreciates the Armenian Apostolic Church and there may be a strategic mistake. Ara Abrahamyan, President of the Union of Armenians of Russia, stated this in an interview with Russia's Information Agency.
"It will be Pashin Yang's strategic mistake. He says he is a believer. However, if it is really like that, he never would allow himself and others to devalue the Church. Church clergy were ordained by the Catholicos, they baptized Armenians around the world, millions of people around the world. And they say they are out of law, "Abrahamyan said, commenting on Pashinyan's recent call, to" gathering "in Etchmiadzin Square.
The President of the Union of Armenians of Russia noted that the person who loves the believer and his people "would never allow himself to solve the problems." According to Abrahamyan, Pashinyan manipulates the public in this way, trying to take a clash with people with different religious views, which will be catastrophic. "The Church is an independent institution," Abrahamyan said.
He also noted that pointing only by the AAC problems that can arise everywhere, Pashinyan does not speak about how great Garegin II did for the Church. "In the last century, no one has done so much. Here the question is not the people, but the Church, the faith. I am a supporter of the Church, I am a believer, I have built dozens of churches all over the world, including the Orthodox Temple in Yerevan, "Ara Abrahamyan added.
