Armenian PM: Garegin II broke his vow of celibacy and has a child

“Catholicos Garegin II has broken his voluntary vow of celibacy and has a child,” the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan shared on his social media accounts, APA reports.

“This is a fact, and if Garegin II attempts to deny it, I will prove it in the appropriate format. In this regard, according to the canonical law of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Garegin II could neither be a bishop, nor an archbishop, nor could he have been elected. He cannot be a catholicos. Ktrich Nersisyan must leave the Patriarchal residence.

As a faithful follower of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and as a person who treats every value, every item, every image and stone of our spiritual heritage with love, I declare: the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church must have a newly elected catholicos, and the authority and spiritual purity of this person must be examined and confirmed before the catholicos election.

I call upon the faithful followers of the Holy Armenian Apostolic Church to unite around the agenda of liberating the Patriarchal residence in a spirit of love and Christian spirit, and of electing a truly holy clergyman to the position of Catholicos of All Armenians,” the post stated.
