On Sunday, an unpleasant incident transpired in the Armenian church of the Belgian city of Antwerp; during the Mass, two Armenian clergymen – Deacon Kristapor Froonjian (in the picture) and Deacon Karo – clashed. During a conversation with www.aravot.am on the phone, Deacon Kristapor stated that Deacon Karo had even tried to hit him, which had been prevented by one of the priests. Our interlocutor stated that the morals in the local church were inappropriate for a spiritual center, about which he had informed Very Reverend Zatik Avetikian, the Deputy Pontifical Legate of the Armenian Church in Belgium, many times, however, the latter, according to the deacon, has taken no notice of the problem.
