Karekin II did not attend Alley of Shahids

Azeri media reports saying that “Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Karekin II attended the Alley of Shahids in Baku” are false.

Holy Etchmiadzin has already requested the Clerical Office of Caucasus Muslims to publish a disclaimer.

According to the reports, Chairman of the Clerical Office of Caucasus Muslims Sheikhulislam Allahshukur Pashazade allegedly told ANS that His Holiness Karekin II, who arrived in Baku for the World Summit of Religious Leaders, attended the Alley of Shahids.

“I advised the Catholicos of All Armenians to see the graves of our sons who died in Karabakh war. They went there at night and were affected by the scene,” Pashazade was quoted as saying.
