On August 28, the Vagharshapat seat of the Criminal Court of First Instance of Armavir Region held a hearing on the criminal case against Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, and the Supreme Spiritual Council, including 2 archbishops and 4 bishops.
Judge Serzh Rushanyan also refused to examine the case, sending it to the Yerevan Criminal Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction. The court noted that the omission in the indictment raises questions, and the Yerevan court should examine the issue of territorial jurisdiction of the case.
