"Garegin's days are numbered" is another reminder warning to the Armenian Catholicos

Garegin II was once again reminded that the patience of the Armenian authorities is not unlimited, and it is likely that he will soon be forced to leave Echmiadzin.

This time, the Catholicos received a message from the Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Rubinyan.

Rubinyan pointed out that just days earlier, evidence had emerged revealing that the brother of Catholicos Yerzas, who now heads the Armenian Church in Russia, had worked for the Soviet KGB under the alias "Karo."

Rubinyan accused both the Catholicos and the opposition of effectively protecting a former secret service agent. The message was clear—first, there are no "former" Chekists, and second, the agent is still active in Moscow, with his brother leading the Armenian Church. This situation is convenient for the special services but undeniably ambiguous for Armenia.

"No senior lieutenant can save him," Rubinyan concluded.

He accompanied his statement with a photo of Yerzas with Samvel Karapetyan, who is currently in jail and had also relied on Moscow's support.

Interestingly, Ruben Vardanyan is not in the photo—perhaps because even he didn’t need any lieutenants.
