Gegham Manukyan on  new and silence of  

ArmInfo. Recently, we have been talking a lot about the <year 37>, but after that period, we have not witnessed any priests being imprisoned.  Gegham Manukyan, MP from the <Hayastan> faction, made this statement  during a conversation with journalists on August 18 in the courtyard of the building where the trial of Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan, the head of the Shirak diocese, is taking place.

According to Manukyan, in recent years there have been various kinds  of political trials, but what is happening to the archbishops is the  most terrible thing this year. After all, there is something much  more important than political and legal processes, he pointed out.  The opposition MP noted that given the current geopolitical  situation, Western countries that champion <democracy> are turning a  blind eye to injustice.  Pashinyan is taking advantage of this  situation, Manukyan concluded.
