ArmInfo.At a certain point, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan became involved in processes that required the use of political instruments. This was stated by Archbishop Arshak Khachatryan, the head of the chancery of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, at a meeting with journalists on September 17, while touching on the reasons for the temporary suspension of Galstanyan's spiritual service.
, Khachatryan explained. He also noted that there had been no previous practice or situation before, where a clergyman was nominated as a candidate for prime minister by the unanimous request of different parties.
, the archbishop added. At the same time, as the priest pointed out, any revolution brings about a huge amount of disunity. , Khachatryan noted.
These contradictions only intensified over the years, political persecution took place under the guise of cases framed within the framework of economic crimes and corruption deals. , the archbishop concluded.
