Reports on the capture of Armenian servicemen further exacerbate this humiliating situation. Father Vahram Melikyan wrote about this on Facebook.
"Father Mkrtich Karapetyan, a Mother See [of Holy Etchmiadzin] cenobite who left for the front line as a volunteer from the very first day [of the recent Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war], also continues to be among our missing Armenians.
At the Mother See, we continue to pray, and we call on the national authorities to take a responsible stance.
In recent days, the Catholicos of All Armenians has taken certain steps regarding the issue of prisoners of war,” Fr. Melikyan added in particular.
