I Will Also Give Such Qualifications to Similar Blasphemous Clerics: Arthur Hovhannisyan

Addressing the general topic, I must raise such a question, which means it is possible to be both chaste and depraved, and that is normal. However, when we talk about it, that is not normal; we should look at the issue from this perspective, both political discourse and discourse in general.

Yes, there can also be such sharp expressions and qualifications, and I will also give such a qualification to similar blasphemous clerics.

This was stated by Arthur Hovhannisyan, the secretary of the ruling Civil Contract party, during a press conference.

“For seven years, with the most obscene vocabulary and the most shameless behavior, actions disconnected from religion and sanctity have targeted the statehood of the Republic of Armenia and also the Armenian people. We will tear off the masks of all these blasphemers one by one, name by name. Again, I repeat, if there are certain circles for whom living a blasphemous life is normal, while talking about it is not, I wish them success in their future lives.

Regarding your other question, I must answer unequivocally 'no.' This comparison with that blasphemous individual is incompatible and unacceptable to me,” Hovhannisyan said.
