Iravunk daily of Armenia writes as follows, in particular: The bishops who have denied the Patriarch [i.e. the Catholicos of All Armenians, Karekin II] boast in private conversations that soon all the clergy [of the Armenian Apostolic Church] will like them.

“Very, very soon, by the end of the year, there is no other way, the next Patriarch will be one of us,” say the apostates, who until recently were hesitant to even say the word “Patriarch.”
