Details
Before the press conference, I managed to get acquainted with the comment of my beloved colleague - Lavrov. Mr. Lavrov's information is incomplete and incorrect. If I'm not mistaken, he used the expression "the struggle of power against the church." Lavrov's information is not true, there is no struggle of power against the church in Armenia. What he means, he means the participation of several churchmen in political activity
As Mirzoyan added, according to law enforcement agencies, it is about participation in the preparation or initiation of an illegal coup.
This is a legal process and an internal affair of the Republic of Armenia. It would be better for Lavrov not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Republic of Armenia
