Hi Mr. Jabarian I received my first issue of your weekly magazine. Thanks In support of your article in USA ARMENIAN LIFE weekly issue No. 2045, I’m disappointed at Archbishop Derderian initiated a lawsuit against your legitimate publication. Although it made me happy that he lost, how dare he spend Armenian church money on a lawsuit he lost. At the same time I must mention that all the money he spent and lost, belongs to the Armenian people, basically coming from indi- viduals like myself and all others who go to the church and make donations. This has put me in a dilemma whether I should donate money in the container after the weekly mass whenever I attend! He has betrayed the Armenian church and its sanctity. Is he trying to compete with the FSB (Russian Secret Service) filth who have taken over the Edzmi- adzin in Armenia with Karekin II at the helm, espe- cially considering all the unholy actions committed by him and the personal wealth he has amassed? How can we, the Armenian people, have any further faith in the Armenian church anywhere? Al- though our church is holy but the clergy in charge of them are corrupt. These are pathetic individuals who are proxies of foreign entities. How many million dollars did Archbishop Derde- rian spend on the lawsuit and also in paying all the costs as the losing party?
Sincerely,
