Pan-Armenian Council for  Preservation of  Armenian Church refutes  claims that Ramkavar-Azatakan supports  Armenian authorities`  anti-church campaign

ArmInfo. The Pan-Armenian Council for the Preservation of the Armenian Church has issued a statement dismissing reports that the Central Board of  the Ramkavar- Azatakan party supports the Armenian authorities'  anti-church campaign as disinformation. The Council's press service  told ArmInfo.

It is noted that the statement has no connection to the party's  official bodies or representatives.. "The Council expresses deep  concern over the fact that the party's name is occasionally  manipulated by self- proclaimed small groups without any authority or  political or ideological responsibility. Such actions distort the  image of the historic party and mislead the public," the statement  reads.

In this regard, the Pan-Armenian Council for the Preservation of the  Armenian Church reiterated that the party's true position remains one  of respect and unwavering support for the Mother See of Holy  Etchmiadzin and His Holiness Catholicos Karekin II of All Armenians,  as well as a commitment to the principle of national unity and the  indivisibility of state and church. "Furthermore, the party rejects  any divisive or discordant manifestations, whether in the  ecclesiastical or political spheres, and supports constructive  cooperation with all Armenian structures and communities in the  interests of preserving national identity," the Council added. In  light of the above, the Pan-Armenian Council urged the media and the  public to rely solely on verified sources and not spread  disinformation that could undermine the spiritual unity of the  Armenian people. "We reaffirm our support for the conservative branch  of the Ramkavar-Azatakan party, which consistently works toward  national solidarity, strengthening the state, and preserving the  authority of the Armenian Church," the Council concluded.
