STATEMENT:
We, the former and current chairmen of the youth unions of the Ararat Patriarchal Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, express our full support and filial humility to the Mother See and His Holiness the Catholicos of All Armenians. Karekin the Second Patriarch.
It is obvious that today the Armenian Holy Church is under the attack of various forces and groups led from outside... As always, even in these times of trial, as a faithful servant, we stand firm in our Mother Church. We will continue to pray and work for the unity and steadfastness of our Holy Church.
We condemn the involvement of people with government resources and leverage in this campaign, which is why the state's rating is falling.
We urge our brothers and sisters within the Armenian Church to be wise and vigilant, not allowing division in the church.
Standing in support of the priest fathers who bring their service in the Patriarchal Diocese, we ask them and pray to God to remain steadfast in their calling and order, as they taught us.
We call on our spiritual brothers and sisters responsible for the youth structures of dioceses in Armenia, Artsakh and outside Armenia to express their support to the Mother See and His Holiness the Patriarch.
