Hovik Abrahamyan's misconduct during the Liturgy

During the Liturgy of the Resurrection in the Holy See of Echmiadzin, when the priest gave communion bread (nshhar, unleavened bread) high-ranking officials of Armenia, Chairman of the National Assembly Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan behaved not as appropriate. When the priest approached, he began smiling, and then laughing, trying to draw attention of Serzh Sargsyan. He probably had a desire to treat the President with prosphora.

First Lady Rita Sargsyan was standing between Hovik Abrahamyan and Serzh Sargsyan. However, Sargsyans did not respond to the invitation of H. Abrahamyan, accompanied by a broad smile. They did not respond to gestures and smiles of Hovik Abrahamyan. And the Chairman of the parliament at this moment probably remembered "deluxe breakfast", which he has been surprised at recently at the European Parliament.

In any case, Hovik Abrahamyan's such behaviour was not in tune with the sense of the liturgy.
