Union of Armenians of Russia supports Armenian Apostolic Church

ArmInfo.The Union of Armenians of Russia has issued a statement in support of the Armenian Apostolic  Church.  "Members of the Council of the SAR, representing the three-million Armenian community of Russia, consider the persecution of the Armenian Apostolic Church by the Armenian authorities shameful," the statement says.

The UAR emphasized that such a disgrace has never happened in the  history of the Armenian people. The Union emphasized that Pashinyan  is trying to undermine the foundations of human nature through his  provocative actions against the church, business, and the Diaspora. 

"This is all being done to prevent any force representing the  Armenian people with its centuries-old spiritual and moral values,  pride and honor, from participating in the 2026 elections. We urge  the government of Armenia and law enforcement agencies to adhere to  the country's Constitution and not exceed their authority. The  Armenians have survived as a people and emerged before the world as a  nation with great human potential largely thanks to our church and  clergy, who replaced the state during the most challenging historical  times.

Today, it is time  for the Armenian people to stand shoulder to  shoulder in defense of the ancient Christian Armenian Apostolic  Church, whose children were our fathers, grandfathers and  great-grandfathers. We are part of this church, and so will be  children,  no matter where we live," the UAR emphasized.
