In a conversation with journalists, the director of the Department of Foreign Relations and Protocol of the Mother See, Archbishop Nathan Hovhannisyan, commented on the lack of reaction of Patriarch Sahak Mashalyan of Constantinople regarding the trial of His Holiness and 6 bishops.
Answering the question of how the Mother See treats the fact that Patriarch of Constantinople Sahak Mashalyan did not respond in any way to the start of the judicial process in the "case" of His Holiness and 6 bishops, Archbishop Nathan Hovhannisyan said: "I hope the letter hasn't arrived yet."
"Maybe the mail is not working well," Archbishop Nathan Hovhannisyan joked.
In addition, Reverend Nathan answered the journalist's question that according to the circulating news, the Patriarch of Constantinople claims the Catholicosic throne. "I don't know what they are claiming when the Catholicos, thank God, is alive and well, and may God give him a long life."
