"The law enforcement officers reached a dead end with the criminal proceedings initiated regarding the recording of the conversation between Archbishop Nathan Hovhannisyan and Garegin B's former scepter Agan Abegha Yernjakyan, which appeared on the Internet.
"Zhoghovurd" daily learned from its well-informed sources that Archbishop Nathan was interrogated twice in the criminal proceedings and said that he had nothing to say about the illegally obtained conversation. The law enforcers also invited the former scepter of Garegin B, Agan Abegha Yernjakyan, to the questioning, who told the law enforcement officers that nothing like this happened. Thus, in the case of the sensational recording spread in the official press, the people passing by completely denied the existence of the conversation, which put the law enforcement officers in a dead end.
Let's remind that on October 17, the recording of the October 2023 conversation between Archbishop Nathan Hovhannisyan and Garegin B's former scepter Agan Abegha Yernjakyan appeared on the Internet. The content of the recording is about how Garegin B allegedly forced churchmen to participate in anti-government demonstrations, against which some clergymen rebelled.
ArmLur.am applied to the General Prosecutor's Office. in response, the General Prosecutor's Office informed that the recording distributed on the Internet will be the subject of investigation in the framework of the proceedings. In the serious crimes investigation department of Yerevan city investigative department of the RA Investigative Committee, criminal proceedings were initiated regarding the cases of coercion to participate in gatherings, obstructing the exercise of electoral rights and theft of large amounts of entrusted property, within the framework of which the leader of Aragatsotn Diocese, Archbishop Proshyan, who is the son of Garegin B's sister, Ter Garegin and the accountant of the rectory were arrested.
Thus, the aforementioned recording was sent to the RA Investigative Committee so that an investigation could be carried out within the framework of the relevant proceedings. The committee is also investigating and finds itself at a dead end."
