Armenian Apostolic Church does not refute Mass Media reports on
collection of data on Armenian citizens in abroad.
The statement provided to ArmInfo by the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin
says that for centuries the AAC has been carrying out its mission
to preserve the Armenian communities in abroad and has a relevant
database and experience. Many issues, even problems with documents of
the Armenian citizens were and are still settled via the Dioceses of
the Armenian Apostolic Church. "Considering that fact, the government
of Armenia has applied to the Mother See to verify the real migration
picture and problems with documents of the Armenian citizens in
abroad. The Mother See Chancellery took relevant steps to find out the
necessary information on the citizens of Armenia having no identity
certificates in order to hold them from possible violations of the law
and help them create proper living conditions," the statement reads.
In this light, the Chancellery expresses discontent at the groundless
criticism by some organizations. It should be noted that We'll not Keep
Silent organization disseminated information that Head of the Mother
See of Holy Etchmiadzin Chancellery, Bishop Arshak Khachatryan applied
to the Leader of the AAC French Diocese Archbishop Norvan Zakaryan with
a letter requesting data on the citizens of Armenia in France. The
letter says that it is a direction of Catholicos of All Armenians
His Holiness Karekin II at the request of the Armenian Government.
"The Government of Armenia expects certain information on the citizens
of Armenia whose children born in abroad have no identity certificates
or have overdue passports and the citizens that left Armenia with
the parents with birth certificates only," the letter says.
