"Aramayis Takhmazyan, the former priest Ter Tade, who was declared disorganized by Mother Ator, continues to offer liturgies and perform other church rituals in the Holy Virgin Mary Church of Inner Bazmaberd.
Takhmazyan himself said this in a conversation with ArmLur.am. "This Sunday in the church of Bazmaberd, where I was performing spiritual service until now, I am going to offer a Sunday service. I also served last Sunday and I must say that now more people come to my liturgies," Takhmazyan said.
ArmLur.am had a conversation with Takhmazian immediately after he was declared disbanded. The latter said that the Mother See's decision was unexpected for him. To our question, is he going to go up to the altar in the status of a layman, as the former priest of Hovhannavank, Stepan Asatryan, did, Takhmazian avoided answering, saying that he does not know what he is going to do at the moment. We cannot say from whom he received support or advice to continue performing "masses" like Stepan Asatryan.
Let us remind that on December 2, H.E. By the Pontifical Administration of Karekin the Second Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, the spiritual pastor of the Tallinn region, Father Tade Takhmazyan, was declared disbanded.
The basis for the directorate was the report of the Administrative Council of Aragatsotn Diocese and the conclusion of the Awarding and Disciplinary Affairs Committee of the Mother See of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church of Saint Etchmiadzin with the justifications presented below, according to the fact that priest Tade: a/ discredited the Armenian Church and church members, including by publishing a defamatory public statement, b/ carried out anti-church actions, participating in the sin of a person declared to be out of order, c/ The part of commemorating the names of the Catholicos of All Armenians and the diocesan priest at the liturgies was arbitrarily discounted, in fact denying the monastic order, putting himself outside the Church and, in fact, joining the schismatic movement, d/ showed disobedience to church authority. The ecclesiastic is now ranked among the laymen under the name of Aramais Takhmazyan Basin.
