Archbishop Arshak: May their cruel end be a warning to others.

On the day of the Feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, during the Holy and Immortal Liturgy, His Grace Archbishop Arshak Khachatryan, Chancellor of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, declared that "today, the life of an Armenian is cloudy and gloomy, full of concerns and challenges, heavy challenges. Prayer has decreased in our lives; we need silence more than words."

"May the righteous hand of the Lord weigh heavily upon all those who fight against God, who fight against the Holy Church, who strike at the foundations of the Armenian state and try to destroy the Armenian identity. May their cruel end become a warning to generations, so that no one else dares to destroy with deeds of darkness that which God Himself has blessed," said Archbishop Arshak.
