"Prosecution has begun against the priests of the Masyatsotn Diocese." Suzy Badoyan

Journalist Suzy Badoyan's Facebook post: "His Holiness Gevorg has taken a brutal ACTION.

Since last night, persecution has begun against the priests of the Masyatsotn diocese, who are no longer subordinate to him after his dismissal, a new vicar has been appointed in the person of Father Ruben.

The Mother See has not yet reappointed this TIRADAV as the diocese, but the stubborn bishop who has become a Nicolaitan has gone into total terror with the incomprehensible verdict of the court that gave him the green light.

The first instance, according to my source, began in the village of Davalu itself - the priest of the Ararat village church was faced with a very tough dilemma, and he has disappeared since yesterday, does not answer phone calls, and has disconnected his number.

They demanded that he leave the Church, he resisted, explaining that he had been appointed to the service by the Mother See.

They offered to accept the fact that Gevorg was a priest of the diocese and a court decision was issued against him.

He refused.

They began to psychologically influence him with some kind of verbal abuse, the priest isolated himself.

By the way, I hope to meet him in person by evening and find out all the information from him, who approached him, what he offered.

Subsequently, several more priests from Ararat and Artashat were targeted by the envoys from the local self-government.

Moreover, some of them were taken away by car and negotiated with a kind smile, in the case of some, they were invited to a meeting in the church itself or in other areas, even in administrative buildings, in order to impose the authority of the apostate Archbishop Gevorg in the diocese.

This is how it works.

According to sources, the responses were:

1 With encouragement

2 With a beautifully packaged offer

3 With veiled threats, citing the court decision.

The priests have mostly reacted harshly to the subtle and some harsh forms of pressure, reminding the officials and the guys in the niche that the Mother See does not yet have a revised decision.

For now, the situation of the ministers of the Masis churches included in the Masyatsotn diocese is in a passive state.

They still do not dare to approach them;

I should also note that those who approach the priests introduce themselves in their own name or position themselves as “THE GUYS WITH TASIB STANDING NEAR THE CHURCH.”
