Archbishop Bagrat Vardazaryan

Archbishop Bagrat Vardazaryan, a Chancellor of the Mother See, a member of the Supreme Spiritual Council, and the Primate of the Baku-Shamakhin Diocese, was arrested in February 1938 in Echmiadzin. On the direct orders of the Soviet leaders, the Troika, the enthusiastic commissars were hunting down “spies” engaged in counter-revolutionary and nationalist agitation all over the country, with a hammer, sickle, and flag… Red Terror. History will record this later. But the investigator of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs does not know about this.
