On November 30, Pashinyan to attend liturgy at Surb Sarkis Church in  Yerevan

ArmInfo. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will attend the Holy and Immortal Liturgy at the Surb Sarkis Church in Yerevan on Sunday, November 30. He announced this  live on his Facebook page.

"I would also like to point out that I was baptized in the Surb  Sarkis Church," Pashinyan said.  It should be noted that since May  29, when Pashinyan compared Armenian churches to closets at a  government meeting, and his wife, Anna Hakobyan, called clergy the  country's main pedophiles, the head of the Armenian cabinet has  declared that Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II has violated his  vow of celibacy, and therefore, in his opinion, should resign from  his priesthood. He promises to provide evidence if the latter decide  to challenge his accusations in court. For now, he has announced his  decision to create a special coordination group to remove the  Catholicos and is participating in liturgies conducted by defrocked  clergy. According to him, these liturgies are part of the program "to  liberate the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and renew the Armenian  Apostolic Church." The first such liturgy was held in Hovhannavank,  celebrated by the defrocked Stepan Asatryan. Pashinyan then attended  liturgies at the Church of the Holy Mother of God in Talin,  Aragatsotn Province, the Church of the Holy Mother of God in the  village of Khachik, Vayots Dzor, and the Church of Saint Hakob in the  village of Ararat, Ararat Province. On November 12, in a conversation  with reporters, the prime minister stated that he would go to pray at  the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin only after he "feels sufficiently  purified."
