Stop, come to your senses, repent, otherwise you will deserve the nominal curse of the Lord's anointed servants, which will close the doors of earth and Heaven to you...

The faithful clergy and the faithful Armenians are vigilant and always stand selflessly for the sake of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, for the sake of the nationally chosen and divinely ordained His Holiness Karekin II, the Patriarch of All Armenians, because the Patriarch of All Armenians embodies the entire Armenian Church, our entire believing Nation. The Patriarch of All Armenians, by His Holy Anointing and by virtue of his hierarchal status, is inviolable and unchangeable throughout his life.

This is the order and demand of divine justice and truth. This is the belief and behavior of a faithful and God-fearing person. This is the attitude and behavior of a dignified Armenian with national self-awareness.

And this is how every word, deed, and deed is measured and weighed. According to this, everything that is said and done by certain state officials and employees of certain bodies is anti-national, anti-constitutional, and anti-state, a mad blasphemy.

Therefore, all acting persons, known and unknown, deserve the curse of Almighty God, the Holy Church, and the Nation.

As an anointed servant of the Lord, as an Armenian soul praying for my native country and everyone without exception, I once again appeal to you, statesmen, servants of law enforcement agencies and the justice system, to stop, come to your senses, sober up and finally understand what terrible sacrilege you are committing, what destructive step you are taking...

With your common sense and piety, remove from you and your descendants the terrible Holy Right Hand of Almighty God, which forever rises above all unfeeling and profane souls.

Stop, stand still, listen to this loving voice that comes to you from the Holy Tabernacle of the Lord.

Sacredly preserve the nation-building and state-building reality that reached its peak at the dawn of our independence: the harmonious, mutually complementary and supportive, mutually respectful and audible interaction of the Holy Church and the State. And if you continue to remain in this same spiritual and mental state of desolation, know that you will be worthy of the nominal curse of our anointed servants of the Lord, which will close the doors of earth and Heaven to you...

The voice of the Holy Gospel resounds loudly for you: repent, repent, repent, for the love of God, the Holy Church, the Nation, and the Motherland.

May God be our refuge, helper, and guide.

With prayerful love,

Father Asoghik Karapetyan

Monk of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin
