The Employee of the National Security Service, Ashot Mkrtumyan, Removed a Citizen from Church After Covering His Mouth

During the Holy Liturgy of Father Aram, a man covered the mouth of a citizen and removed him from the church. The individual, Hayk Dorunts, was taken out of the Hovanavank church by Ashot Mkrtumyan, an employee of the National Security Service.

The citizen had shouted at the beginning of the liturgy: “Stepan Asatryan, you have no right to perform the liturgy.” It is worth noting that we previously reported that a citizen began yelling during the liturgy inside the church. The situation escalated momentarily, and the citizen was silenced with hands and removed from the premises.
