In recent days, Nikol Pashinyan has also been posting posts against the Armenian Apostolic Church, and in his last post he stated, "Prepare for a meeting in Etchmiadzin Square."



Our sources say that Pashinyan is planning the first "rally-attack" against the Mother See on July 22 and is preparing to gather his supporters and the ranks of the Communist Party in Etchmiadzin, with the aim of moving towards the Holy See.


According to sources, that day was chosen specifically because the Prime Minister is on a five-day vacation, from July 18 to 23.


This is a manipulative step: he is trying to show that he is not acting as a statesman, a prime minister, but as a believing ordinary citizen, Nikol Pashinyan, who is concerned about the Catholicos' celibacy issues.


In fact, according to the information we have received, these steps against the Church are being planned within the Prime Minister's staff.


It can be said that the staff has been busy with nothing else in recent months than political persecution, the Prime Minister's PR, and neutralizing criticism against the Prime Minister.


According to our source, on July 7 and a few days before that, meetings were held in the Prime Minister's office with some people who are considered "select militants."


Pashinyan personally met with them, discussed possible scenarios for organizing a march and campaign, and dethroning the Catholicos.


One of the defrocked clergymen who spoke on Public Television and openly criticizes the Armenian Apostolic Church and His Holiness the Patriarch also participated in the meetings.


That clergyman expressed support for the current government, presenting himself as the acting archpriest, although the next day information about his defection spread on social networks.


We promise to provide more details about this anti-Christian conspiracy in the near future.


According to our source, organized groups involved in this process will also join the rally and march.


Each group has its own governing body, composed mainly of ordained clergy and representatives of the CP. This process is coordinated by the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, Arayik Harutyunyan.


According to the same information, the march will be led by Pashinyan himself, from Echmiadzin Square to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. According to our source, the government is also planning to use state leverage to ensure an impressive march.


Plainclothes police officers, security forces representatives, community workers, and members of sectarian groups will also participate in the march.


Their goal is to control and neutralize citizen resistance and counter possible opposition from the clergy.
