ArmInfo. The authorities' relentless and unbridled attacks in recent days are not only directed  against His Holiness the Patriarch or any clergyman, but are actually an open war against our national identity, unity and sacred places.

ArmInfo. What is happening is a sign of the death throes of an authoritarian regime, when the government no longer trusts its own foundations and begins to fear not only mass protests, but also individual steps, and even facial  expressions, thoughts. This assessment was made by the former  chairman of the State Revenue Committee David Ananyan.

The head of  the opposition parliamentary faction "Armenia", former Minister of  Defense of the Republic of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan wrote about this on  his Facebook account.
