AAC diocese in Russia engaged in commercial activity – paperMarch 6, 2012 - 09:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Apostolic Church diocese of New Nakhijevan and Russia has publicly quitted the spiritual sphere and got involved in show business causing discontent among the Armenian community in Russia, according to a paper. Posters advertising the Armenian Comedy Awards-2012 hang all over Moscow and St. Petersburg bearing the symbol of the Armenian Apostolic Church diocese of New Nakhijevan and Russia just beside the signs of commercial brands, Haykakan Zhamanak paper reports. The thing is that the Russian diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church headed by brother of the Armenian Catholicos, Bishop Yezras Nersisyan, is the very sponsor of this event. Consequently, the name and symbol of our church appeared on an ad near “Euronetwork” and “Euromusic” brands. Many Russians see nothing strange in this; they consider it to be the objective reality because the Armenian Apostolic Church diocese of New Nakhijevan and Russia turned into a commercial organization long ago.
