Armenia – Jan 24 2022

Artsakh Republic State Minister Artak Beglaryan and the Primate of the Artsakh Diocese, Bishop Vrtanes Abrahamyan, received on Monday a group of clergymen who had been carrying out spiritual service at Dadivank Monastery. As the press service at the state ministry reported, the clergymen were back after 8-month service 

To note, the monastery, under the protection of Russian peacekeepers at present, is located in Artsakh's Karvachar region, which had been handed over to Azerbaijan under the trilateral statement from November 9, 2020.

According to the source, State Minister Beglaryan praised the work of the Artsakh Diocese on the frontline of spiritual struggle and its mission for preserving spiritual values. Beglaryan expressed hope that the issue of Dadivank, the status of Artsakh in general, its security and eternity of values will receive a fair solution. 

By the decision of the Artsakh president, five clergymen were awarded with state medals for conducting services and liturgies at the monastery during the difficult post-war period. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
