Expert comments on Armenian premier`s statement 

Expert comments on Armenian premier`s statement 

ArmInfo. Fighting ignorance. This is how political scientist Stepan Danielyan commented on  yesterday's statements by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Parliament.

The expert stated that from the rostrum of parliament, addressing the  church, he stated "that they were anointed in Caesarea, returned to  Armenia and became agents of influence."

In this vein, Danielyan stated that such statements can only be made  by people completely far from history.  In this vein, the political  scientist decided to enlighten the current Prime Minister of Armenia  and tell him why in those days Armenian bishops went to Caesarea for  consecration.

In this vein, the expert noted that in those days Constantinople did  not meet these criteria, but, being the capital, it received the  status of metropolitan with great difficulty.

"The consecration of a bishop in any of these places was obligatory  for the entire Christian world. So it was a mandatory condition for  the Armenian bishops in Caesarea (some of them were not Armenians,  but Assyrians). Grigor Lusavorich was also from Caesarea, at least  his mother he had a Greek girlfriend, we won't discuss the father  moment, there are questions.

Moreover, at that time not only Armenia, but in general all Christian  powers were partially independent, all were subjects of the Roman  (Byzantine) emperor, at one or another sovereign level and could not  be agents of influence by definition, they were simply subjects,  including King Pap," added Danielyan.

In conclusion, he touched upon the activities of King Pap and  wondered what he had done.   And he himself noted that King Pap  wanted to fall under the influence of Persia, which was under the  influence of Rome, and for this it was necessary to remove the church  from the influence of Rome, especially since there was already a  precedent for the Assyrian (or Persian) church.

On May 22, in parliament, Prime Minister accused the opposition of  trying to undermine the country's legitimacy and provoke a war, and  added that he would not allow this. He further accused the opposition  of wanting to make an "outpost" out of Armenia.   In this vein,  Pashinyan decided to compare the current processes in the country  with the history of Armenia during the time of King Pap.  "After all,  the Armenian people had such an experience - during the imperial rule  they went to Caesarea, received blessings, returned to Armenia and  became agents of influence. The issue of agents of influence has not  been resolved from the period of King Pap to this day. But I am sure  that he will be resolved in the next 2-3 months. It is no coincidence  that I keep talking about King Pap. This conversation was interrupted  by the murder of King Pap. But King Pap will not be killed again. I,  as the Prime Minister of Armenia, will not be killed so that they  will not be killed. If you don't wear it, no matter what cross you  hang on your chest, King Pap will not be killed. Today's Armenia is  the realization of King Pap's dream," Pashinyan concluded.
