On September 2, in gross violation of law and justice, the detention of Archbishop Mikael Adjapahyan was once again extended. This was stated in a declaration issued by the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
“The court, instead of administering justice, has clearly joined the anti-church campaign unleashed by the authorities, assuming the disgraceful role of retribution against clergymen and those who support the Church.
It is necessary to put an end to lawlessness, including discriminatory practices, and to immediately release both Archbishop Adjapahyan and all those arrested on false charges,” the statement reads.
