“The case was opened on June 17, they could have easily put me in solitary confinement from the 17th to the 26th. But they, consciously or unconsciously, I am more inclined to the first, decided to arrange this masquerade on the 27th, but it did not work out.” The head of the Shirak diocese, Archbishop Mikael, stated this in a conversation with journalists in the Mother See, thanking the clergy, including His Holiness, and citizens for their attitude.
“Now they have understood and retreated, and there is no need to allow them to enter the territory of the Mother See and desecrate it for the second time. I am not afraid of anything, this accusation is fabricated, groundless. I have never hidden and do not renounce my words. I said, I am a good man, I will continue in the same spirit,” the archbishop said. Archbishop Mikhail asked the clergy and townspeople to allow him to appear before the Investigative Committee. The townspeople expressed their disagreement with the archbishop’s trip to the Investigative Committee and surrounded his car, then escorted Archbishop Mikhail to the cathedral.
