NDP calls Pashinyan`s attacks on AAC coordinated from outside,  targeting national values and institutions

ArmInfo.  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's recent blasphemies against the Armenian Apostolic Church are not isolated incidents - they are part of a systematic and  externally directed attack on national values and institutions, as noted in a statement by the Council of the National Democratic Pole  (NDP). "On one hand, the leadership of Azerbaijan is actively trying  to appropriate the entire heritage of the Armenian Apostolic Church,  starting with one of its founding fathers, the apostle St.  Bartholomew, and on the other hand, the current authorities of  Armenia spare no effort to discredit and devalue the Armenian  Apostolic Church as an institution that carries national identity.

All of this is not an accidental or spontaneous phenomenon, but a  clearly politically planned process, the purpose of which is to  belittle and eliminate the most important pillars of Armenian  identity, psychologically disarming the Armenian people in the face  of daily acts of aggression, depriving them of any spiritual value as  a necessary prerequisite for voluntary resistance and action," the  NDP believes.

The political force has emphasized the deep political significance of  this process, particularly evident in the noticeable resurgence of  traditional and Christian values in the West, reclaiming their  influence in political and public spheres. "The obsession with the  "fashion of education" of the Armenian people is gradually becoming a  reality of  "desecrating" them,  attempting to remove and oppose them  to civilizational development. This barbaric attack on identity  demands a serious and sober assessment, resistance and unity in our  society," the NDP stated, urging the Armenian people to wake up.
