Archbishops’ chamber will not remain empty — Aghvan Vardanyan to Civil Contract members

Storming the Mother See with weapons, masks, and berets is sacrilege, “Armenia” faction MP Aghvan Vardanyan said during his address in the National Assembly.

“You did this, you are people without faith, without Armenian identity. Armenians everywhere are ashamed of you. They could not imagine that you are capable of such a thing. The Mongols did not invade Etchmiadzin, the Turks failed to do so. And the evil that has taken over the Republic of Armenia has penetrated the temple of the Armenian identity. You will not get away with it.

Archbishops Bagrat and Mikayel are imprisoned in the cell of the National Security Service. This is a traitorous, cowardly act. The ‘Civil Contract’ and its ‘leader’ together have not done even a tiny fraction of what they did in serving the homeland. Great men do good, nobodies bring evil. You have nothing to do with our identity, our people. You are not sovereigns, you are servants. Your term of service is expiring. The Archbishop chamber will not remain empty,” he said.
