VIDEO: Bishop Bagrat Freezes His Spiritual Service

Honestly, at this moment, I do not even know what to say, I do not know why the Lord brought us to this point. You know, from the first day, I have said that this struggle is a struggle of expectations.

This was stated by the Primate of the Tavush Diocese, Bishop Bagrat, at a rally in the Republic Square. "This movement, which began from our border zone against lies for the sake of truth, has brought us to this point, with the blessing of our Lord. I have not shied away from any responsibility, and considering the expectations of broad circles, my tongue does not even twist to say that, with regards to being a candidate for Prime Minister, in discussions with the Catholicos and my spiritual brothers, we have referenced that I cannot combine my spiritual situation with being a candidate for Prime Minister. Therefore, I have requested His Holiness to freeze my 30-year spiritual service. I will assume and bear all my personal responsibility," he said. It is noteworthy that it was just announced that the candidate for Prime Minister is Bishop Bagrat.
