ArmInfo.Archbishop Yezras (secular name Mkrtch Nersisyan), head of the Russian and New Nakhichevan Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, patriarchal exarch in Russia, and younger brother of Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, was added to the Ukrainian Myrotvorets database on Sunday.
The reasons cited include, among other things, support for Russia and "an attempt on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine," RIA Novosti reports.
The Myrotvorets website is known for its scandalous publications, in which it exposes the personal data of journalists, militia members from the so-called "DPR" and "LPR," and other citizens, calling them "traitors to the motherland." In the spring of 2016, Myrotvorets published lists of journalists, including foreign ones, who had received accreditation from the "DPR" and "LPR," along with their contact information. Some of them subsequently received threats. Dunja Mijatovic, then OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, called the publication a "disturbing step" that could further jeopardize the safety of journalists. The Myrotvorets website's database also includes information on a number of Russian cultural figures and other citizens of various countries.
