Armenia investigates seven more clergy members
A ban on leaving the country was selected as a preventive measure.

A ban on leaving the country was selected as a preventive measure.

The statement was made in reference to the ongoing confrontation between the Armenian government and the Church.

Bishop Gevorg Saroyan challenged Karekin II’s decision earlier in January, dismissing him from his post as Primate of the Masyatsotn Diocese.

Bishop Gevorg Saroyan is one of 10 high-ranking clergy members to come out in support of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s reform agenda.

The Defence Ministry denied the allegations.

There are claims that the Church reforms pursue similar goals as the 2018 revolution, but this time in the spiritual sphere.

The statement was made during an anti-Karekin II rally in Yerevan during Armenian Christmas.
