Armenians want Garegin II to resign
Akhali Taoba reports that the negative attitude towards Garegin II is increasing every day in Armenia. Local media outlets do not hide their negative opinions towards him and now a Facebook group has been created demanding Garegin II's resignation. Panarmenian.net, an Armenian news agency reported about this new group first and in that time the Facebook group had only 67 members which has now increased. A question was asked whether Garegin II should be abandoned by the Armenian church and 1560 persons answered positively, 221 answered negatively.
This negative attitude among Armenians increased when Garegin II said that he does not care about the churches located in mountains. This statement was followed by a big protest from society stating that it is impossible for the Catholicos not to care about mountainous monasteries.
Currently Armenia demands that Georgia gives it 5 churches in Tbilisi and 1 in Akhaltsikhe. According to one newspaper it is interesting that Garegin II cares for the churches in Georgia when he does not care Armenian churches located in mountainous regions of his country.
