“The accusations against Bagrat Srbazan are groundless”, meeting with editors time said Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II, answering the question of “Aravot” editor Aram Abrahamyan, whether there are no objective grounds for the anti-church movement.
His Highness noticedAll issues of concern to the nation have always been addressed by AAP officials during personal meetings, but when such opportunities are no longer provided, these issues remain open and there is no opportunity to directly discuss them with the authorities, therefore, they speak up.
The Catholicos reminded: Movement of Saint Bagrat started due to the process of demarcation of Tavush, when the residents of Kirants experienced an uprising and stood up. “That issue was discussed in the ecclesiastical circle, and Bishop Bagrat announced that the movement will not be political in nature. And we told Bishop Bagrat that in such situations, the leader should be on the side of his people to defend the rights of his faithful children. Then the movement underwent certain changes, and Bagrat Srbazan entered the political process. At that moment, we suspended his spiritual activity, and then his arrest took place. But the accusations against Bagrat Srbazan are groundless. We know Bagrat Srbazan best, he is a patriot, a patriot is church“.
