Tavush for Motherland leader demands holding libelers responsible

ArmInfo. The head of the Tavush for Peace movement, Primate of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian  Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan demanded that all those who called him an agent of foreign intelligence services be brought to justice.

Earlier, the National Security Service of Armenia, in response to a  request from the Armenian media, officially denied information  disseminated by government circles that Bagrat Galstanyan is an agent  of foreign intelligence services.

"Claims by David Levonian, a journalist for the pro-government news  portal Civic, that the archbishop is a KGB agent and has received  millions of dollars from the Kremlin have not been confirmed by NSS  probes initiated based on a libel claim filed against a government  journalist." - says the Movement's statement. In this vein, the  Movement recalled that the checks lasted more than a month, but  nothing was found.

Taking note of the above, the Archbishop today publicly demanded that  all those who slandered him be brought to justice. "If the National  Security Service of Armenia has refuted the slander that I am a  foreign agent, then let everyone who slandered me be held  accountable," Galstanyan said.
