What business does the head of the executive branch have interfering in the affairs of the Church – especially by delivering messages from his official residence? This question was raised by Eduard Sharmazanov, former Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and member of the Supreme Body of the Republican Party of Armenia.

“Where is the principle of the separation of Church and state?
In this democratic bastion, a Church ‘renovation’ program is already being announced from the prime minister’s residence.

International organizations, what’s up?

You will come here and speak about the ‘democracy’ of nikolism, won’t you?

Well, it seems Pashinyan has resolved all the pressing issues and is now once again busy reforming spiritual life.

He liberated 240 square kilometers of Armenia from Azerbaijani occupation, returned Armenian prisoners of war to Armenia, successfully resolved the issue of the return of Artsakh Armenians to Artsakh, and now he is occupied with the ‘renovation of the Church,’” Sharmazanov emphasized.
