Today is the birthday of Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan, Primate of the Shirak Diocese.
The bishop is currently at the Izmirlian Medical Center.
Politicians, spiritual leaders, and citizens have come to congratulate him since early this morning.
RPA Deputy Chairman Armen Ashotyan told reporters that today, the state has been stolen from the people. “Today’s state does not belong to the people. Today’s government does not belong to the people. The people have two legitimate children: the state and the church.
The state has been stolen. It was stolen from without, by traitors from within. And it is no coincidence that today, the people have risen to defend their other child, the church. I am confident that the Armenian people will protect their own child, the church, and then be able to return the stolen child, the state.”
