After the announcement made by Reverend Saba, "Alliance of Patriots" is not going to retreat.The North American bishop of the Georgian Orthodox Church made a critical statement and called the letter sent to the Synod by the leaders of the "Alliance of Patriots" as "insolent action".
Davit Tarkhan Mouravi says that will send again letters to the Patriarch on the recognition of autocephaly of Ukraine and nobody will interfere with it. Tarkhan Mouravi is convinced that the "Alliance of Patriots" voiced the opinion of the majority of citizens. The chairman of the party once again accused several bishops, including the Reverend Saba, of making political statements and said that it is unacceptable.
" We said that Peter Tsaava should not be a high cllergy. As for Archbishop Saba and Archbishop Grigol, the church is not a NGO. We do not think the Church is a political party, we have a feeling that the Reverend Saba does not understand that his statements should not be in the political context. The letters will still be written. Letters that will give the public more information about this issue, "said David Tarkhan-Mouravi.
Archbishop Saba blames the leaders of the Patriots Alliance in violation of ecclesiastical rules and laws. Archbishop Saba called on other members of the Holy Synod to make statements in response to the Alliance of Patriots. He intends to raise this issue at the Synod.
