The meeting of the Supreme Spiritual Council concluded

The Supreme Spiritual Council has strongly condemned the blatant illegal encroachments and oppression against the rights of the Church and clergy, the spread of hate speech and intolerance.

The Council reaffirmed the position of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin to support the establishment of justice and protect the rights of the Church’s ministers and the faithful, once again calling on law enforcement agencies to stop illegal criminal proceedings and release the imprisoned clergy and civilians. The Council emphasized that steps are needed to restore the rights of the Mother See and the liturgical life in the Hovhanavank Monastery, protect the spiritual and canonical life of the faithful, and ensure the normal service of the clergy.
