In Talin, clergy of the Armenian Apostolic Church are being prevented from entering the Holy Mother of God Church. Preparations are underway there to hold the Christmas liturgy under the leadership of the defrocked Aramais (Tade) Tahmazyan.
Supporters of Nikol Pashinyan have blocked the road to the church. Tavros Sapeyan, the mayor of Talin, stated that Father Hayk would not be allowed to enter the church, since the service will be conducted by former priest Aramais Tahmazyan.
