How can they have a problem with me? Their problem is with God, says Pashinyan
Regarding the claim that I have a problem with the clergy, or that the clergy have a problem with me, I believe that our clergy's problem is with God. How can they have a problem with me?
The celibate priests kneel at the place of Jesus Christ's descent and swear an oath, signing a document that they will not have personal lives. The phrase 'personal life of the Catholicos' is absurd. If a person has a personal life, they are not a Catholicos.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reacted to his remarks about the clergy during the 'Education is Fashionable' movement. According to Pashinyan, he was briefed about the clergy by the NSS: 'The clergymen have come under operational scrutiny due to their actions. The NSS is an agency under the Prime Minister, and it reports to me daily about the operational situation in the Republic.'
