Standing strong with @AYFDCAni alumna U. Areni Margossian - who continues her service to our community and Cause - undeterred by the shameful ban of entry to the Armenian Homeland.

So proud of the strong presence of Homenetmen Eastern Region athletes - including several from the DC area - at the 12th Pan-Homenetmen games in the Homeland this year. #Homenetmen #MyHomenetmen #ՀՄԸՄ

The US Ambassador that Trump recalled today from Armenia, Kristen Kvien @USAmbYerevan is best known for assuring Karabakh's population they would be safe under Azerbaijani control She said this during a brutal Azeri blockade, just months before they were all ethnically cleansed

The Pan-Homenetmen games were more than medals; they were memories made in the Homeland youtu.be/YeaLxJDxi0A

BREAKING: According to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, several senior clergymen — Fr. Paren, Fr. Manuk, Fr. Hayk, Fr. Mkrtich, and Fr. Ghevond — along with Archbishop Mkrtich Proshyan, head of the Aragatsotn Diocese, are currently being held at the Yerevan City Investigative Committee. Earlier today, law enforcement officers arrested the spiritual pastor of Saghmosavank, Fr. Paren Arakelyan. Investigators also searched the residence of Archbishop Proshyan before taking him in for questioning. The Director of the Information System Department of the Mother See, Fr. Yesayi Artenyan, confirmed the developments. “A search was conducted this morning. We do not yet know on what grounds or for what reason. We learned about it from Fr. Paren’s wife. A formal statement will follow,” he said. Archbishop Proshyan is the nephew of Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II. These arrests follow the earlier detentions of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan on June 25 and Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan on June 28, amid escalating attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church. Meanwhile, during a recent meeting with the UN Secretary-General, Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazade once again accused the Armenian Apostolic Church of political interference. Now, in what many describe as “a coincidence too precise,” the head of one of the Church’s dioceses and several priests have been detained — in Nikol’s Armenia. Earlier, during an interview on Public Television, Fr. Aram claimed that he had participated in anti-government rallies under the instruction of Archbishop Proshyan. He alleged that the archbishop had pressured him and threatened him with defrocking following a 2021 phone call from Anna Hakobyan, the wife of the country’s leader, concerning a house blessing. Fr. Aram’s September 16 statement — in which he said he joined the 2021 opposition rallies “not of his own will” — was sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office and subsequently forwarded to the Yerevan Criminal Police for review.
