Abstract
The paper argues that the issue of the anti-dual (anti-Nestorian, as well as anti-Chalcedonian) position of the Armenian Church concerning the nature of Christ should be discussed in the context of the church realities of the late 480s and the early decades of the 6th century. The paper notes that there is no evidence on the existence of a contest between pro-Assyrian or anti-Chalcedonian, pro-Greek or Chalcedonian currents in Armenian Church laid the basis of the fight against Nestorianism and Chalcedonism, which strengthened the latter in the last quarter of the 5th century.
On the other hand, the stance towards the Chalcedonian Council is entirely consistent with the religious reality established by the Byzantine emperors Zeno and Anastas, whereby Chalcedonism was discretely pushed to backstage. The reason for this “spiritual balancing” policy was that the emperors forbade the opposing factions from open arguments which could provoke further fights among the contesting currents.
Such a policy explains why the Chalcedonian Council was not directly condemned at the Council of Dvin in 506. Nonetheless, the Armenian Church had already openly announced its loyalty to the orthodox proclamations of the first three Universal Councils and the Cyrilian Twelve Anathemas, had expressed preparedness to unite with the Byzantine Church.
