I notice that recently many politicians and experts have been declaring that a change of power is possible, but not through elections, rather through some other processes.

Dear Father Ruben, I want you to know that you have our full support in the realization of your mission.

If Nikol Pashinyan claims that the legitimately elected and anointed Karekin II is not the Catholicos because he has allegedly violated the Church's regulations, then we can also say that Pashinyan is not the Prime Minister because he has violated the government's program.

In this episode, we talk about the already open and official pressure started by Pashinyan against the Armenian Apostolic Church. We discuss why this policy is not working and what steps the government might take to try to pressure the Catholicos of All Armenians.

I am grateful to the Primate of the Diocese of Gugark, His Grace Bishop Ter Hovnan Hakobyan, and the clergy of the diocese for this responsible choice.

In this episode, I analyze Nikol Pashinyan's recent move, by which he, for the first time in an official capacity - as Prime Minister - signed a document with members of the clergy and officially moved the church issue into the political arena. This is no longer an action within the scope of personal faith or a civic stance, but direct interference by the state power in the internal affairs of a religious institution.
