Father Komitas Hovnanian denies what is listed in the National Security Service decision

October 29,2014 15:27

Father Komitas Hovnanian denies that he was interrogated at the NSS according to the application written by Stepan Danielyan, the Head of the “Partnership for Democracy” Center. In the conversation with Aravot.am, Father claimed that there is a sect in Armenia preaching sexual perversion and it functions under different names. It is “David Berg” sect that functions under different names. Prior to me, the co-President of the United Youth League, Sevak, announced it, and I was the next.”

He denied Mr. Danielyan’s claim that he had given explanations at the NSS that he has heard about the sect advocating sexual perversion from the co-President of the League, Sevak. The latter had learned about it at the café. “I have not given any explanation at the NSS. Based on the announcement of Stepan Danielyan, I was brought to charges allegedly I am inciting anti-national things, such hollow talks. All of this was the result of irresponsible approach by Stepan Danielyan.”

Father Komitas was reluctant to talk and interpret the earlier rumors about “the sects in Armenia receiving half a billion dollars a year and using to undermine the state”, which Stepan Danielyan attributes it to the Father and has submitted an application to NSS to verify the reliability. “I have not said this, it was announced by Bishop Armen Melkonyan, I think. Alexander Aramyan respond to it … stating that all sects together receive half a billion dollars annually. Why do they attribute these statements to me? Let Stepan Danielyan think about himself, day and night he is fighting against the Armenian Apostolic Church. I am not interested in Stepan Danielyan, he is an image of an immoral man for me, if he applies to the security service on the charges to judge a clergyman, this means that Danialyan is also one of the agents of 1937’s. If he were in the years of 1937, I am sure I would be in Siberia today.”

P.S.  As to how true the claims by Father Komitas are that he was not interrogated nor provided explanations, we can make sure by reading the NSS’s decision on dismissing filing a criminal case, which clearly indicates that he has given explanations.
