Today's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's, todayrecord, Tert.am talked about the situation around the church with a member of the Supreme Spiritual Council, Doctor of Law, Professor, Lawyer Gevorg Danielyan.

According to Danielyan, the mentioned entry is an unreasonable intervention not only in the normal activities of the Armenian Church, but also in the Mother See and a direct instruction to high-ranking clergymen.

- Mr. Danielyan, Pashinyan actually attributes His Holiness to protect illegalities, can this be considered a preaching force of political persecution.

- All this is so primitive and at the same time unacceptable in terms of clarification or commentary. However, the government puts it in circulation not only to violate the presumption of innocence, but a completely new principle of judgment, if the other branches of the government have taken place not only obediently this. According to him, the high chair of the parliament called on Bagrat to condemn Bagrat to Bagrat, Mikael, as well as Samvel Karapetyan, who expressed his support for the Armenian Church, was just based on the accusation against the pre-trial proceedings. In other words, it is not a convict not the person convicted of the judgment of the court, but the person appointed as such as the executive branch.

This is a completely new desk of judgment, perhaps all those who will try to take the political statements not to appoint a convict, but the verdicts of the court. In other words, not only the truth of the ruling theses, but also the legal priority should be inevitably undergoing criminal prosecution.

It is that not only terrorism, but also any crime condemnation, but in this case the emphasis is different, it is necessary to advance specific people in advance, which is only a pre-trial proceedings. Moreover, the body implementing the pre-trial proceedings in connection with the same statement exercises a clear contradictory attitude, which specially emphasized the lawyers. The latter also mentioned very suspicious evidence, so the growth is more inadmissible.

In particular, if we try to condemn Samvel Karapetyan, we will have the exact opposite picture, because we will not have involved in the government with a simple logic. What did that figure say? "We will participate in the protection of the Armenian Church in our ways." Let's leave aside that the ruling political force has unequivocally the assumption that this "form" is the call to seize the government. It should be noted that the legal decision of the court, including the international court of the international court, and the international court, and the international court, and the international court's court's interference, unoccupied, has been adopted. This is a conclusion that is far from, so it is necessary to operate as severe and balanced as possible.

At the same time, the Armenian Church unequivocally stressed that not in any way the terrorist attacks are refraining from gross violations of the presumption of innocence, discriminatory treatment and similar illegal behavior.

In the context of this, unfortunately, it is even pointless to talk about the independence of the courts and judges and any manifestation of a fair trial in general.

- The official response of the church should be sober, restrained and high, or in this situation it is necessary to take a more drastic position.

- Not only in any aspirations of the Armenian Church, but also to national values, I am deeply convinced that it responds to the National Church and the religious attitude of each believer. Perhaps the emphasis is more steep, but one thing is sure that the Armenian Church will never be provided to the provocations, it will not enter artificial agendas and will not take on political processes. Non-national concerns, which certainly have political elements, guaranteed by the Constitution, unnecessarily confuse the political process. And this is very important that they will recognize the equivalent not only in the government but also in the opposition. The Armenian Church is an autonomous and independent national structure enshrined in the Constitution.

- Can Pashinyan be considered an attempt to make public pressure on the church?

- It is pointless to make judgments about public pressure, the public cannot be given anti-church aspirations, the problem may have tried to create a gauze of legal law for potential force. What happened in 2018, when a limited number of people entered into the Cathedral and occupied the diplomacy, they had been disrupted for three days, and it is in the past, people are noticeable.

It is clear that the Armenian Church is targeted, and unnecessary consistency in it will inevitably lead to the pillars of national statehood, so we will not be confident that this is not in line with the thinking of national interests and the prevalence of the prevalence of the prevalence of the prevalence of the prevalence of the prevalence of the majority of people.

The record of your specific intervention is unreasonable interference not only in the normal activity of the Armenian Church, but also in the Mother See and a direct instruction to high-ranking clergymen.
