AAC Georgian Diocese head  condemns Pashinyan`s attacks against AAC

ArmInfo.  The head of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC), Bishop Kirakos Davtian,  has condemned Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's attacks  against the Armenian Church and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin  II. In a statement distributed by the press service of the Georgian  Diocese of the AAC, the bishop pointed out that the current  leadership, refers to the Catholicos elected by the people, as Ktrich  Nersisyan, even though no such citizen exists in Armenia. In this  regard, the head of the Georgian diocese stated that the authorities  in Armenia lack state thinking, disregard the law and present their  desires as reality, thereby misleading the people of Armenia.

"The Armenian authorities have become vile and cynical propagandists  on social networks, proving this every day in their public posts.  Neither the state status, nor the responsibility, nor the reputation  of the country sobers them up. Meanwhile, all countries of the world,  religious and international organizations, and all Armenians  recognize and accept the Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II.  His  name is indicated as Karekin II Nersisyan on his passport," the  bishop said.

He believes that the attacks on the Catholicos are nothing more than  manipulation, which was the result of a reprehensible dictatorship.  "The Supreme Patriarch is the collective image of the Faith of the  Armenian people. Every Christian must be vigilant in order not to  succumb to the provocations of the Armenian authorities and malicious  actions," the head of the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic  Church concluded.
