Bishop Mkrtchyan's Business Interests: Does He Own 3 Hydro-Electric Plants in Vayots Dzor?

12:50, July 5, 2012

The first thing that catches your eye as you enter the village of Hermon in Vayots Dzor Marz is a site that looks like a water pool.

It's actually a small hydro-electric station where the local kids go fishing. The guy we saw fishing when we visited was Taron, who is the station's security guard.

When we asked Taron who the hydro-electric plant belongs to he answered – His Holiness. He was referring to Bishop Abraham Mkrtchyan, Primate of the Vayots Dzor Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Catholicos Garegin II established the diocese in 2010 and transferred Bishop Mkrtchyan from his post as Primate of the Syunik Diocese.
