Serzh Sargsyan [i.e. the third president of Armenia] also had no intention of leaving, but he had to leave. And the same applies to Ktrich Nersisyan [i.e. the birth name of Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II], who will have to leave, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced at a press briefing Thursday.

“You say that Ktrich Nersisyan has no intention of leaving. We are going to make it so that he changes his intention. No one has any intention of leaving,” Pashinyan noted.

The premier assured that he will achieve this without shocks and in a manner imbued with Christian tolerance and love.
