Andria Jagmaidze: Reports that the Patriarch plans to resign in December are "another fantasy and lie"

Head of Public Relations Service of the Patriarchate of Georgia, Andria Jagmaidze, calls the reports that the Patriarch plans to resign in December "another fantasy".

As he told journalists, the clergy have fatherly feelings towards the Patriarch and their position is that the Patriarch should continue his service.

"I saw it. It was a story full of lies. I said last year that the Patriarch had said something similar about his resignation, but no dates or timelines that we heard yesterday are true. This is another fantasy, lie, lie, lie. The clergy are generally against this, they have a fatherly feeling towards the Patriarch, and the mood is for the Patriarch to continue his service. This issue is not on the agenda," Andria Jagmaidze noted.
