Armenian PM’s office raises alarming questions about church leader’s conduct

Taron Chakhoyan, Deputy Chief of Armenian Prime Minister's Staff, has made striking comments regarding the ongoing controversies surrounding Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II and his inner circle.

Chakhoyan shared his views on Facebook, suggesting that the full extent of alleged misdeeds may be far greater than currently known, Caliber.Az reports.

“Ktrich (Karekin II) will undoubtedly step down, but are there any misdeeds that have not yet emerged from him and his close associates? Breaking the vow of celibacy, having a child or family, playing a prominent role in a spy network, acting against his own state, participating in politics, forcing participation in political rallies, obstructing campaigning, hooliganism — is there anything left? How much more remains undiscovered, we simply do not know,” Chakhoyan wrote.
