Armenia`s premier insults clergyman on Facebook

Armenia`s premier insults clergyman on Facebook

ArmInfo.  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan posted an obscene insult to a bishop on his official Facebook page early in the morning.

A literal translation of what was written goes beyond the bounds of  decency, except perhaps like this:  .

After some time, he made another post: "One must ask oneself how many  of our bishops are faithful to the vow of celibacy?"

Then another: "Some people are concerned that I am officially  unmarried. Half of our spiritual elite is in the same situation, and  some people are not concerned." And the last one (for now): "And what  happens when it turns out that a celibate clergyman has broken his  vow of celibacy? He is stripped of his position, rank, and phylum.  What is now more morally honest: to voluntarily resign or to embrace  mental anguish? Let's see if there is an investigation, let's see if  the truth is revealed." The prime minister's wife, Anna Hakobyan,  also decided to express her attitude toward the Armenian clergy. "The  country's main pedophiles are enraged by the word "closet". Of  course, that's how it should be. After all, closets are the dark  corners of the lives of maniacs in black masks. It is in closets that  perversions occur that no longer deserve even the wrath of the  believing people. The believing people, having long since come to  terms with this, are carrying the country's main maniac perverts on  their shoulders," she wrote on social media. Recall that the day  before, at a government meeting, Pashinyan compared Armenian churches  to closets. "Whoever has the most unnecessary things can be seen in  churches - an extra marble slab, bags of cement, pieces of old rusty  reinforcement. The Prime Minister demanded that the head of the  Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia  introduce appropriate standards in churches, since The Mother See of Holy  Etchmiadzin responded to the statement. "It is regrettable that,  commenting on such a delicate issue, even a person holding such a  high position cannot help but demonstrate the lack of a   education today (Pashinyan and his wife are running a campaign called  "Learning is fashionable" - ed.), as well as an internal crisis of  correct public communication and deep understanding of issues," wrote  the head of the chancery of the Mother See, Archbishop Arshak  Khachatryan on his Telegram channel.
