The government falsely appointed Arman Saroyan as a member of the commission for discussing pardon issues

Arman Saroyan was appointed a member of the “Consultative Commission for Discussing Pardon Issues” as a representative of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church. The Mother See announced that the appointment was made without the consent of the Armenian Apostolic Church and violates the legislation of the Republic of Armenia. A representative of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church in a state or any other structure can only be appointed with the blessing and privilege of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and the Catholicos of All Armenians. And the declared deposed Bishop Gevorg is not authorized and cannot represent the Armenian Church either from a canonical, legal or moral point of view.
