ArmInfo. The authorities' militarized attack on the Mother See of Etchmiadzin will be remembered in Armenian history as one of the most shameful pages. Levon Zurabyan, Vice-Chairman of the Armenian National Congress, wrote on his Facebook page.
According to him, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his servants in the Civil Contract party have gone too far today, and will now be referred to as janissaries.
"Only the Bolsheviks treated the Armenian Holy Church the worst. Pashinyan's janissaries will soon surpass them. Our entire nation must unite around the defense of democratic legality, the Constitution and our identity," Levon Zurabyan noted.
In turn, former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan noted that the invasion of the territory of the Mother See of Etchmiadzin is a desecration of the Armenian Church and the cherished values of the shrines of the Armenian people. "The authorities have ignited extremely dangerous processes that are destroying the foundations of our statehood and the pillars of our identity. They are keeping the country in suspense, pitting people against each other and brazenly speaking about the Armenian Church and our cherished values. Driven by an obsession with preserving his power, Nikol Pashinyan personally manipulates the law enforcement system for his own interests, destroys the law and democracy, turning the country into a dictatorship. What is happening is a gift for the occupation plans of the Azerbaijani authorities," the human rights activist noted.
