The authorities are already in the National Assembly openly demonstrating their intentions to persecute the Church. Tatoyan

Former MP of RA Arman Tatoyan referred to the statement of NA Speaker Alen Simonyan to the Church, in which he raised the issue of taxing the Church. "The government is already in the National Assembly openly demonstrating its intentions of persecuting the Armenian National Church, which has the constitutional status of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, using the "opportunity". Starting from the first period of coming to power, the facts of doing this to the Church as an institution are obvious When in 2018 The initiators of the "New Armenia, New Patriarch" movement carried out political actions against the Mother See in the courtyard of St. Anna and St. Catholic Churches. In response to the petitions, the authorities reasoned that this area is of public importance and these actions are legal. Today, it is announced in the Parliament that the gatherings organized by His Excellency Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan in that same place are unacceptable. 2018 the violent invasion of a group of people into the Mother See Holy Etchmiatsin Divanatun with the apparent indulgence of the government. The attack on the Catholicos of All Armenians, the blockade of the car and threats with stones. For security reasons, the removal of the police escort of the car serving the Catholicos of All Armenians. Discrediting assessments of the church and clergy with impermissible vocabulary and insults to dignity and reputation. The "threat to subject the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church to taxation" has already been responded to by the Holy Etchmiadzin Mother See," Tatoyan wrote.
