What the Prime Minister of Armenia is doing is about division, hostility, and persecution — and this way, peace cannot be achieved. It only brings disaster, undermining our internal stability, the foundations of our statehood, and weakening security. Arman Tatoyan

The ultimate goal of the “game” started by the head of the Armenian government against the Holy Armenian Apostolic Church is essentially directed against Christianity.

Yes, it actually goes beyond the issue of individuals within the Church; it has already transcended merely the level of the Armenian Church. No matter how much the leader of the Civil Contract party and various Civil Contract party parliamentarians try to convince us otherwise, this is clearer than clear.

Analysis of the situation and public sources shows that this campaign against the Church fits within the framework of Azerbaijan’s state program for the occupation of Armenia. Therefore, the true origins of its objectives and real motives should be sought there.

It gives the clear impression that the Armenian Apostolic Church is the last Armenian pillar, which Azerbaijan seeks to dismantle through the hands of Nikol Pashinyan, in order to advance its expansionist project of “Western Azerbaijan.” This project assumes not only that the territory of Armenia is “Azerbaijani,” but also that “hundreds of thousands of so-called refugees” must settle in Armenia. In reality, this is an Azerbaijani state plan to occupy Armenia under the guise of a humanitarian cover.

In this context, it is at least questionable that on May 22, Allahshukur Pashazadeh, head of the Caucasus Muslims Office, openly declared that “the Armenian Church poses a great threat to all the countries in the region neighboring Armenia.”

It is interesting that this statement remained unanswered by the Prime Minister of Armenia or by any state body or official. Instead, immediately after this statement, starting from May 29, the Prime Minister began a harsh anti-church policy, accompanied by a campaign of hatred and insults.

By its nature, this is already an anti-Christian campaign, since Christianity itself is about peace, tolerance, and solidarity, whereas what the Prime Minister of Armenia and certain MPs from the Civil Contract party are doing are clearly anti-Christian methods.

Peace is a supreme value for all of us; we want to live in a peaceful and safe country. But what the Prime Minister of Armenia is doing is about division, hostility, and persecution — and this way, peace cannot be achieved. It only brings disaster, undermining our internal stability, the foundations of our statehood, and weakening security.
