Pashinyan to Meet with Senior Clergy: Details

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has announced plans to meet with a group of senior clergy, in light of a controversial statement made on social media today by representatives of the clergy.

Pashinyan made this statement during a press briefing, just minutes after the announcement was shared on one of the Telegram channels linked to the government.

It's worth noting that earlier, MP Vahagn Aleksanyan had posted on Facebook: "What we have been saying for months is now being echoed by 10 bishops of the Armenian Apostolic Church. They are stating it openly and signing their names to it. Now, who is the 'anti-church' here, ladies and gentlemen, KGB recruited agents and their submissive preachers?"
