Russian MFA: Those who mock the memory of war and the Church have  nothing sacred

ArmInfo.Those who mock the memory of war and the Church have nothing sacred, according to a commentary by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, issued in connection with the intention of Armenian investigative authorities to interrogate 103- year-old Great Patriotic War veteran  Rozalia Abgaryan. 

Earlier, media outlets reported that Armenian  veteran Rozalia  Sergeevna Abgaryan would be interrogated as part of a criminal case  against a supporter of a political party for violating the ban on  charity work during the election period. 

 "It would be difficult to find a clearer evidence of a moral and  spiritual decay that rapprochement with a modern, faceless, morally  impoverished Europe and fraternization with the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime  leads to.  Especially when it comes to Armenia, where, it would seem,  respect and reverence for elders have always been the cornerstone of  Caucasian national identity. We cannot help but consider this message  in isolation from the series of events and steps taken by Yerevan,  which look like a blatant mockery of our shared history and memory.  No one has forgotten that the "sovereign" politicians and officials  of the republic did not find the courage to condemn Zelensky, who  threatened from the Armenian capital with strikes on the Victory  Parade on Red Square. We remember well the public attempts of the  newly appointed head of one of the educational institutions of the  Armenian Ministry of Defense to whitewash the Nazis, as well as the  house arrest under completely far-fetched pretexts of the chairman of  the Union of Veterans of the republic during the pre-election period.  Now, the Armenian justice system, which is moving towards  "democratic" European standards,  has targeted R.S. Abgaryan," noted  Maria Zakharova.

She added that honored individuals like Rozalia Sergeyevna are a  source of pride for everyone who understands the true significance of  the victory over the "brown plague," describing them as guardians of  historical memory, universal human values, and moral beacons. Thanks  to their courage and selflessness, today's Armenia lives on and can  plan for its future. "Apparently,  high offices in Yerevan have  forgotten this, just as they forgot that the republic's top  leadership met on camera with R. S. Abgaryan and other Great  Patriotic War veterans multiple times, including in Moscow during  official events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great  Victory. Knowing Rozalia Sergeyevna's iron resolve, we have no doubt  that she will withstand any interrogations. However, one thing is  also clear: those who mock the memory of the war and the Church have  nothing sacred left," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson's  commentary stated.
