Government henchmen are threatening Father Artashes, who conducts spiritual services in the village of Vosketap, in an attempt to remove him from his position at the church and pursue their own agenda. This was written on his Facebook page by Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of the “I Have Honor” faction of the National Assembly.
“According to the Masyatsotn Diocese, the head of the Vosketap village administration, Nshan Hovhannisyan, and Hamlet Goroyan, the sponsor of the construction of the St. Sahak-Mesrop Church, visited the church and demanded that Father Artashes’ spiritual mentor, Priest Hakobyan, vacate the church. They also stated that they would return in an hour to change the keys to the church’s entrance.”
The police and the National Security Service, naturally, not only demonstrate criminal inaction but also sponsor illegal actions as the situation dictates, thereby ensuring the illegal appointments of their political superiors.
Their concern stems from the disclosure of the immoral pressure and threats exerted against him by Father Artashes, as well as the “exposure” and denial of the operation to join the conspirators,” he wrote.
