Filmmaker Calls Catholicos Case ‘Classical Persecution’ Against 1,725-Year-Old Church
As Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II appeared in court in an unprecedented criminal case Friday, supporters gathered outside described the moment as painful, humiliating and deeply unsettling for a nation whose church has survived centuries of war, foreign rule and political upheaval. The Armenian Report spoke with filmmakers, activists and political figures outside the Vagharshapat courthouse, where the first criminal proceedings against a sitting Catholicos in modern Armenian history opened before abruptly ending when the judge recused himself. This is an exclusive report by The Armenian Report. Republishing is permitted with proper credit to the original source.
