“Let him try.” Bagrat Srbazan, what will they do if Nikol Pashinyan enters the Sardarapat memorial?

May 27, 2024 By administrator

“I don’t even know if he will come or not. We are going to Sardarapat to traditionally celebrate May 28, like September 21, like the day of Mount Musa,” Bagrat Srbazan, leader of the “Tavush for the Motherland” movement, told reporters, answering the question if RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan would celebrate May 28. When he goes to Sardarapat, are they going to take action? Bagrat Srbazan answered, “If Nikol Pashinyan enters the Sardarapat Memorial, what will they do?” “Let him try.” The journalists were interested in what the reaction of the law enforcement officers would be, Srbazan said. “They are not law enforcement officers; they are police officers.” To clarify, if you succeed and become the prime minister, how will you solve the problem from the legal side, Bagrat Srbazan answered that it is not a question to be answered on your feet. Journalists reminded that there were people on the side of the movement who were there at the beginning, but then did not appear, for example, Arman Tatoyan, Bagrat Srbazan responded: “Arman Tatoyan is my brother, he is always present from the beginning and the end of the movement.” To the question of how he will overcome the constitutional ban on dual citizenship in order to become prime minister, Bagrat Srbazan answered: “Now, what does that have to do with going to Sardarapat?” The Bishop responded to the journalist’s observation, which is one of the most important questions. “The most important issue is the removal of this person, which will happen. the rest is derivative. After the removal, there will be a very good job.”

May 26 Thousands rally in Armenia against Turkish ally Nikol Pashinyan for land transfer 

May 26, 2024 By administrator

Yerevan: On Sunday, thousands of Armenians gathered to protest against the government, calling for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation due to territorial concessions made to neighboring Azerbaijan.

The protests began last month after the Armenian government agreed to cede territory to Azerbaijan, land it had controlled since the 1990s. This area is strategically significant for Armenia, a landlocked country, as it includes key sections of a vital highway to Georgia.

Residents of nearby Armenian settlements argue that this decision isolates them from the rest of the country and accuses Pashinyan of relinquishing territory without any benefit in return.

Bagrat Galstanyan, a charismatic and outspoken clergyman who has become the leader of the growing anti-government movement, was named on Sunday as the opposition’s preferred candidate to replace Pashinyan as prime minister.

Gurgen Melikyan, a former dean at Yerevan State University and a well-known public intellectual, announced the news to tens of thousands gathered in Yerevan’s central Republic Square.

“For a month, we held meetings with representatives from all sectors, including political parties and public entities, to select a candidate for prime minister. The vast majority agreed that person should be Archbishop Bagrat,” Melikyan said. Galstanyan then urged his supporters to engage in acts of civil disobedience across Yerevan starting Monday morning to paralyze city traffic.

Galstanyan stated that he had asked Catholicos Garegin II, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, to “freeze my 30-year spiritual service” so that he could enter politics.

The Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the church’s governing body, has not yet commented on the matter.

Following the rally, Galstanyan led thousands of demonstrators to the gated residential area where Pashinyan and his family live, demanding a private meeting with the prime minister.

Նաիրի Հոխիկյան, Capture spring of 1992, Azerbaijan was in chaos, & Armenians of Artsakh were liberating new settlements one after another

May 21, 2024 By administrator

By Նաիրի Հոխիկյան

In the spring of 1992, Azerbaijan was a chaos of power struggle, and Armenians of Artsakh were liberating new settlements one after another. On May 8, 1992, Shushi was liberated, and 10 days later, on May 18, Lachin. Armenians opened the way for Karabakh to have a land connection with Armenia.

On the day, when under the pressure of Abulfaz Elchibey and Heidar Aliev, President Mutalibov finally left the post of Azerbaijan, the same day the father of 6-year-old Nairi, who followed the flames of war, entered the house with wet eyes from Sevan, and hugging him, said: “Did you know that our people took Lachin?”

At that time this Armenian historical settlement had not yet been named Berdzor. Then Berdzor was sealed after Berdadzor.

The next day, on May 19, at Vienna’s historic Hofburg Palace, European “justice” institutions launched a special session discussion on the capture of Lachin, blaming Armenians. Since there was no normal president nor functioning government in Azerbaijan, the Turkish authorities took upon themselves the role of representative of Azerbaijani interests in the Council of Europe.

“Yesterday Armenian troops captured Lachin,” the statement of the main reporter of the session sounded.

The session was translated into 6 languages. The French translator solemnly delivered the French version: “Hier l’armée de l’Arménie a occupée la Chine (Yesterday the Armenian army occupied China… )”.

Seconds later, the fight broke out in the hall. The Chinese representative began to approach and worriedly asked how it happened. The scandal was escalating, the Chinese diplomat got up and ran to the door. The session had to be interrupted. In the aisle, the officials rushed to call their countries. International stock exchange prices began to rise rapidly, within seconds Oil prices reached astronomical highs. China doesn’t exist, a new world order is being formed. A small country, whose place is not yet known, has suddenly been able to capture China, which seeks world domination.

Weidun Zhou, an experienced diplomat who left for Europe as deputy head of the Chinese delegation from Beijing, could hardly breathe, it became dark before his eyes. Walking down the aisle, for a moment, he even grabbed the wall to prevent it from falling down. He could not imagine that his homeland, which had finally declared its independence, had lost it again. How could he? it happened and so fast.

With these thoughts, somehow he reached the office, asked the assistant to contact Beijing quickly. And while on the other side of the phone, they managed to take the hearing aid, Weydun was thinking, how to save the family, where to go? He managed to think about options. need to organize self-defense battles quickly, probably guerrilla wars will break out all over China… maybe he will approach the Armenian representative and try to understand how it will be possible to settle disputes peacefully… and what dispute? What dispute can giant China have with small Armenia… How was it possible to conquer all of China in a few hours? Didn’t notice in these thoughts that they answered the call from Beijing.

Weidun Zhou’s voice was trembling. He couldn’t formulate the question to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Finally, he found the strength to say the terrible news in the form of a question. “How China was conquered?”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other side of the telephone. Then the Deputy Minister briefly said that he had guests and couldn’t spend time on every joke. Weydoon also advised not to make such stupid jokes in Europe.

With weak legs, Weydun entered the room of the head of representatives. The man with a wide forehead and bald hair quickly arranged the papers. The papers spilled here and there in the room showed that the diplomat-chief had nervous experiences. He quickly said that they had to go to the hall, as if something had become clear.

Something had already been revealed. The diplomats returned to the hall and tried to continue the session with artificial smiles, but nervous tension was stamped on everyone’s faces. The French translator was changed. It turned out that he had misunderstood the verbal text of the declaration and had translated it wrong, making a global noise because of his one word. People say slip of language, The deep end of life. A young French girl translator was fired. Now, behind the glasses, sat an experienced woman with a sharp gaze and unsecured figure.

The host of the session announced that the French side had a statement to make, stressing that the new translator would make the corrections. The woman solemnly stood up. All the delegates in the hall turned on the French translation channel to listen to the Paris clarification. “Excuse me, please, it’s not the Armenian army that occupied China, it’s the Nagorno Karabakh army that occupied China… Excuse me, please. The Armenian army has not conquered China. It is the Nagorno-Karabakh army that conquered China).

In fact, the pronunciation of the word “Lachin” is very similar to the French word “China”, la Chine. This also put the translators in a misunderstanding. This tragicomic touch of the Council of Europe stayed for a long time in the memory of the present.

Lachin’s liberation was also printed in Nairi’s memory as a way of life for Karabakh.

A few weeks later, Abulfaz Elchibey became the main presidential candidate of Azerbaijan. The unbalanced man with a crumbling voice could speak convincingly and unite the crowd around him. “I love you all, you are my pride.” these sentences on his lips Abulfaz passed through the settlements and captured the hearts of ordinary Azerbaijanis.

Donations Tilt Vatican In Favor of Azerbaijan

May 19, 2024 By administrator

By Harut Sassounian,

In a lengthy article published in the Irpmedia.irpi.eu in Italian on March 27, 2024, titled, “How Vatican helped legitimize the Aliyev autocracy in Azerbaijan,” Simone Zoppellaro exposes Vatican’s pro-Azerbaijan tilt due to financial donations, despite Armenia being a Christian nation, while Azerbaijan is Islamic.

On Feb. 22, 2020, the autocratic leader of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, and his wife, Mehriban Aliyeva, the country’s Vice President, paid a state visit to the Vatican. They were received officially by Pope Francis, Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Secretary for Relations with States Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher. Mrs. Aliyeva was at the Vatican to receive the highest honor awarded to a lay person by the Holy See: “The Grand Cross.” The award is proposed by the Diocesan Bishops “as a sign of appreciation and gratitude for services to the Church or to society reserved for Heads of State, ministers, ambassadors, and royalty.” However, the driving force behind Vatican’s interest in Azerbaijan is the financial support provided by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

Ironically, despite Azerbaijan’s intolerance of minorities, dissidents and other religions, the Holy See expressed its appreciation to “Azerbaijan’s openness and peaceful attitude towards different faiths.”

Fearing the loss of Azerbaijan’s donations, the Vatican has been reluctant to allow any criticism of Baku, particularly by its own clergy. “Father Georges-Henri Russyen was expelled from the Pontifical Oriental Institute because he was critical of those who did not want to use the formula ‘Armenian genocide.’”

Given the expectations of benefiting from Azerbaijan’s “Caviar Diplomacy,” the Vatican has not been willing to say anything more substantial than emphasizing “the importance of intercultural and inter-religious dialog in favor of peaceful coexistence among different religious and ethnic groups,” meaning Armenians and Azeris. The Pope prayed for the inhabitants of Karabakh, hoping “that the talks between the parties, with the support of the international community, will foster a lasting agreement that will end the humanitarian crisis,” Even during the 2020 War, “the Church was unable of going beyond generic appeals for moderation ‘to all the parties involved and to the international community’ to ‘lay down their weapons.’”

On October 24, 2023, Prime Minister Nikol Pahinyan received from the Apostolic Nuncio José Avelino Bettencourt the same award given three years earlier to Aliyeva, Azerbaijan’s Vice President. However, there was a major difference. While Aliyeva received her award directly from the Pope, Pashinyan was honored by an Apostolic Nuncio. There were also other differences which “helped consolidate the power of the Aliyev family, despite human rights violations in Artsakh.”

“Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, honorary president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Culture and chairman of the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology, is the highest Vatican official who has made the most efforts to open a dialog with Azerbaijan.” He was awarded the Order of Friendship in 2013 by the Azerbaijani authorities — a high honor offered for a “special contribution to the development of friendly, economic and cultural relations between Azerbaijan and a foreign state.”

Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti is considered “the protagonist of the privileged channel” established between the Vatican and Baku. “Highly educated and polyglot, ambitious and lover of power, Cardinal Gugerotti has known the Aliyev family since 2002, when Pres. Heydar Aliyev, in power since 1969, was still alive.”

“In the early 2000s, Gugerotti met with the Azerbaijani authorities as Nuncio for the Southern Caucasus, a position he assumed in 2001. Before then this nunciature for the Holy See included only Georgia and Armenia. Those were the years in which Russia guaranteed a ceasefire in the region, after Armenia had defeated Azerbaijan in the first conflict. The ethnic hatred that is still fuel for the conflict was beginning to settle, but Nuncio Gugerotti called Azerbaijan a ‘country [that] is a symbol of peaceful coexistence between people of different religions.’”

“Ten years after he began his mission as Apostolic Nuncio in 2011, Gugerotti signed the historic agreement which, for the first time, regulated relations between Baku and the Catholic Church. At the time of ratification, recalls a 2019 book produced by the Foundation for the Promotion of Moral Values from Baku entitled ‘Christianity in Azerbaijan,’ Gugerotti expressed gratitude to the (Azeri) government for creating the conditions that made possible [the agreement], emphasizing that our country always remained committed to the principles of tolerance, and noting that the agreement was the first document of its kind, because the Vatican had never signed such an agreement with any state before.”

According to Gugerotti, “Azerbaijan has once again demonstrated its tolerance. Now the whole world is witnessing it. I am sure that this document will receive a positive response in the international world and will be remembered as a great historical event. The reaction of the press from day one proves us right. On behalf of the Holy Throne and the Crown, I extend my deep thanks for all this to President Ilham Aliyev and the Government of Azerbaijan.”

Since 2009, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, headed by Mehriban Aliyeva, has funded various activities in the Vatican: restoration projects, exhibitions and concerts. Other projects funded by Azerbaijan included: the Roman catacombs, the Vatican Museums, the Vatican Apostolic Library, and Catholic churches in France and Azerbaijan. These donations amount to one million euros.

In 2013, Gugerotti received the Movses Khorenatsi Medal — the highest Armenian honor — from the then president Serzh Sargsyan for his important contribution to Armenian studies, but also the effort aimed at strengthening relations between Yerevan and the Holy See.

The author of the article concluded that the close relationship between the Vatican and Azerbaijan has had the effect, perhaps unintended, of strengthening the hegemonic role of the Azeri autocracy… which may contribute to a diplomatic normalization that would put in the background, or erase, crimes and aggressions committed by the Azeri autocracy.

Armenian Dictatorship: Handing Territory to the Enemy with No Election No Debate & No Referendum with the rule of one man and corrupt police

May 19, 2024 By administrator

By Wally Sarkeesian,

Never before in the history of mankind have Street thugs taken power in the streets by deceiving citizens with claims of corruption. This individual seizes control, forms his own police force akin to a personal army, and corrupts them. He then partitions the country, making decisions without debate, referendum, or election, ruling as a dictator and acting solely in his own interest and that of his enemies. This is unprecedented in human history. He turned 120,000 Armenians of Artsakh into refugees struggling to survive, and now he’s even giving part of Armenia to Azerbaijan. Look at those police officers—they’re all in their twenties and only care about their pockets. This must be stopped. By any definition, this is treason. This man is a total criminal, recruited by the Turks, and is furthering Turkish interests.

The “Three Yellow Journalists” Destroying Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, Tatul Hakobyan, Eric Hacopian

May 18, 2024 By administrator

These three yellow journalists will distort history, much like Tatul Hakobyan, to align with the narrative of Nikol Pashinyan, the current Prime Minister of Armenia, and Eric Hacopian, a front-line deceptive liar. Among others, they helped bring Turkish Agent Pashinyan to power. Now, they are desperately trying to link Bishop Bagrat Galstanyan to Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini. How much dirtier can they get? Bishop Bagrat did not come to preach Christianity to a nation that has been Christian since 301 AD; he came to save the Armenian Nation from the current Turkish ruler who, over the past six years, has destroyed Armenia and Artsakh, creating a second genocide.

Here is an article written by William Bairamian on X.

This article was written by William Bairamian on X.

Ever wonder how Eric Hacopian manages to be consistently wrong yet still works at CivilNet?

As an old friend of Salpi Ghazarian, the cofounder of CivilNet, who many believe still pulls the strings, Hacopian was placed in his position to convey specific messages.

He’s also friends with Zareh Sinanyan and his former assistant, Sara Anjargolian, founder of the foreign-funded Impact Hub. I’m not sure how relevant that is, but it’s worth noting.

What messages are these, you ask? To understand, you need to look at CivilNet’s funding sources, which include substantial sums from foreign governments and others. You can either accept their claims of “independent journalism” (lol) or question if that money comes with strings attached.

Hacopian, like many at CivilNet over the years, acts as a mouthpiece, saying what he’s instructed to say. Don’t believe me? Ask Tatul Hakobyan, a longtime CivilNet contributor and recipient of grants promoting Armenian-Azeri friendship. Hakobyan eventually found CivilNet’s suppression of his ability to speak the truth about Armenia so unbearable that he quit (or was he fired?).

So, Hacopian sits there, trying to stay awake on camera, and makes absurd comparisons, like equating an Archbishop of the Armenian Apostolic Church to an Iranian mullah. This is the level of “analysis” provided.

And what’s more, no one at CivilNet challenges him or demands a real analysis. The message must be delivered, and for some of CivilNet’s audience, it will resonate.

Money well spent, right, @USAID?

Massive Arrests In Yerevan As Police break legs and arms of the protestors Armenian Dictator Praises Border Deal With Azerbaijan

May 16, 2024 By administrator

Armenian Dictator Nikol Pashinian praised a controversial border-demarcation deal with Azerbaijan, calling it a great success, in opening remarks to a cabinet meeting on May 16. Thousands of protesters opposing the agreement gathered again outside the government building, which was cordoned off by police in riot gear.

Protesters led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanian have opposed what they call “unilateral territorial concessions” to Azerbaijan as they demand Pashinian’s resignation over his security policies.

CSI Christian Solidarity International writes a solidarity letter to Armenian protest leader Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan,

May 14, 2024 By administrator

On Friday, as tens of thousands of Armenians gathered in the capital of Yerevan to demonstrate against the Armenian government’s plans to cede more land to Azerbaijan, CSI’s international president, Dr. John Eibner, wrote a letter of solidarity to Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the informal leader of the protest movement.

CSI’s international president, Dr. John Eibner, has written a letter of support to Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of Armenia’s “Tavush for the Homeland” protest movement, as tens of thousands of Armenians have gathered to demonstrate against their government’s concessions to Azerbaijan.

Archbishop Galstanyan serves as primate of the diocese of Tavush, a region where the Armenian government recently announced its decision to unilaterally cede strategic territory to Azerbaijan – in order, it said, to prevent an Azerbaijani invasion.

A new protest movement

The government’s decision led to weeks of protests and civil disobedience by Armenians in Tavush. The protestors feared losing their villages or having Azerbaijani troops – who regularly fire on Armenian villages along the border – stationed so close to their homes.

On Friday, May 3, Archbishop Galstanyan set out on a march from Tavush to Yerevan with a group of 100 supporters, a march they called “Tavush for the Homeland.” On Thursday, May 9, they arrived in Yerevan’s Republic Square and were greeted by 30,000 supporters. Daily protests against the Armenian government have continued in the capital since then.

In his letter, Eibner praised Archbishop Galstanyan’s “courageous efforts” and argued that Azerbaijan’s attacks on Armenia are “a continuation of the Armenian Genocide process.” “The voice of the multitude you lead must be heard by the faction in power in Yerevan,” he said.

Threat of war

According to Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia had offered to withdraw from the disputed territory in Tavush in exchange for Azerbaijani troops withdrawing from the 214 square kilometers of Armenian territory it has occupied since May 2021. When Azerbaijan refused, Pashinyan decided to withdraw from the territory anyway, saying, “We must not allow a war to start.”

The land concessions follow Azerbaijan’s conquest last year of Nagorno Karabakh, which led to the forced displacement of over 100,000 Armenian Christians from their homeland. In the months before the conquest, Pashinyan had formally recognized Nagorno Karabakh (or Artsakh) as part of Azerbaijan, although it had never in history been ruled by an independent Azerbaijani state.

Eibner’s letter to Archbishop Galstanyan follows:

Your Eminence, Dear Archbishop Galstanyan,

May the Almighty bless your courageous efforts to amplify the voice of the politically marginalized. You do so at a critical moment in Armenian history. The Armenian nation faces today an existential crisis. The Azeri-Turkic state has already succeeded in ethnically cleansing Armenian Christians from Nagorno Karabakh and in occupying territory inside the Republic of Armenia. It has done so with impunity.

The Aliyev dictatorship now demands more territorial concessions, with no end in sight. It is a continuation of the Armenian Genocide process. The voice of the multitude you lead must be heard by the faction in power in Yerevan.

National unity is now urgently needed. We have therefore read with dismay the CivilNet report in which Prime Minister Pashinyan accuses the Tavush protesters whom you lead of seeking to “incite war” and the “de facto dissolution of Armenian sovereignty and statehood,” while acting under the influence of “drug lords, criminals and foreign special services.” No state can survive at the expense of the nation upon which it is built.

Over the centuries, the Armenian Apostolic Church has stood in solidarity with its suffering people throughout many trials and tribulations and continues to do so today. Please be assured that many Christians of different traditions throughout the world stand in solidarity with you in your non-violent efforts to ensure that the views and sentiments of those most threatened by the continuing Genocide process are heard by those in power.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the First Christian Nation at this time of crisis.

Yours sincerely,

John Eibner

International President

Archbishop Bagrat is Leading the Effort To Oust Pashinyan and Save Armenia

May 13, 2024 By administrator

By Harut Sassounian,

A lot has happened in Armenia this past week that has shaken to the core the incompetent, inexperienced, defeatist and deceptive Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan who should have resigned on Nov. 10, 2020, the day he signed the capitulation agreement with Azerbaijan.

Pashinyan came to power by exploiting the people’s gullibility and their resentment of the former leaders. He claimed that he will bring peace to Armenia, their sons will no longer die in wars, they will live in prosperity with high-paying jobs, there will be no corruption, and a million other falsehoods with which he misled the public.

Drunk with his newly-found power, Pashinyan became completely unhinged. He arrogantly announced, while he and his mob of followers surrounded the Parliament building in 2018, that either he will become the Prime Minister or Armenia will not have a Prime Minister! This is the pronouncement of a self-declared democratic leader who became a dictator.

During the campaign for the parliamentary elections in 2021, Pashinyan stood on a stage holding a hammer and promising to crush the heads of his political opponents. He also pledged to slam his Armenian rivals to the wall and flatten them on the asphalt. This is his crude understanding of democracy.

Pashinyan told his crowd of followers in 2018 that he will leave his office when the people demand his resignation. Since then, he has ignored all demands for his resignation clinging to his seat of power. During one of the many demonstrations calling for his resignation, when a journalist asked him if he will keep his word and resign, he pompously replied, “they aren’t people,” implying that he considers only those who support him as “people.”

Even though Pashinyan’s supporters falsely claim that he was elected Prime Minister, the fact is that he was not, since the Prime Minister’s post is not an elective position. He was chosen by his parliamentary majority which is composed of equally incompetent and inexperienced young men and women.

Pashinyan has no tolerance for dissent. If anyone living in Armenia dares to criticize him, the Prime Minister orders his well-fed police squad to lay the critic on the ground, beat him up and arrest him. His top ally, Alen Simonyan, the Chairman of the Parliament, spit on the face of an Armenian in the street, just because he criticized him. And if a Diaspora Armenian disagrees with Pashinyan, he will not be allowed to enter Armenia after he arrives at the Yerevan Airport. Under Pashinyan, Armenia has become a dictatorship, ruled by the whims of one man.

Now comes Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the Primate of the Diocese of Tavoush, who opposes Pashinyan’s arbitrary decision to turn over to Azerbaijan four Armenian border villages without a referendum and parliamentary approval.

The Archbishop has come immediately under vicious attacks by Pashinyan himself and his cronies, including the thousands of fake Facebook followers who are paid to defame anyone who dares to criticize the Prime Minister.

Pashinyan called the Archbishop and his supporters “Drug Lords” and “Foreign Agents sent from overseas” without a shred of evidence. It is very ugly when the head of a government uses street language to denigrate his political opponents. Anyone who dares to criticize Pashinyan is immediately labeled “a Kremlin agent” who is paid thousands of dollars to “undermine the country.” Why should anyone get paid to undermine Armenia when Pashinyan is already undermining the country all by himself?

In a strange turn of events, the Archbishop has copied the same tactic Pashinyan used to come to power by marching from Gyumri to Yerevan in 2018. Thus Srpazan is giving Pashinyan a dose of his own medicine. The only difference is that Pashinyan violated many laws to come to power by smashing the doors of the Armenian Radio Station’s headquarters, surrounding a Court House with his followers to prevent the judges from entering the building, and blocking the entrances to the Parliament.

The Archbishop has advantages and disadvantages. Srpazan is a clergyman whose weapon is truth and morality. He preaches peace, love and non-violence. All attempts by various opposition groups to topple Pashinyan by street protests in the past six years have failed. The Archbishop is the only person who has gained the trust of a large number of Armenians who eagerly joined his march from Tavoush to Yerevan. Over 100,000 Armenians flooded the city’s main square to listen to his message.

When Srpazan arrived in Yerevan on May 9, he announced that he was giving Pashinyan one hour to resign. When the hour passed and there was no resignation, the Archbishop did not want to go to the next step of urging his 100,000 followers to storm the building and oust the Prime Minister. Instead, Srpazan announced a series of civil disobedience acts throughout the country.

Srpazan is now consulting with various opposition leaders to discuss the next steps. If and when Pashinyan resigns or is impeached, both unlikely scenarios, the Archbishop said that a transition government will be formed which will later hold elections for Parliament to choose a new Prime Minister. It remains to be seen if Srpazan’s peaceful plans will succeed to oust Pashinyan.

The best reason for getting rid of Pashinyan is that the presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey have eagerly praised Pashinyan for his repeated and endless concessions. Prominent Azeri analyst Ali Hajizade even suggested the possibility of sending Azeri and Turkish troops to Yerevan to support Pashinyan’s government!

All patriotic Armenians, putting aside their internal differences, should form a coalition to establish a transitional government that will hold the next elections. Public pressure must be exerted on Pashinyan to resign as soon as possible before the country ceases to exist due to attacks by internal and external enemies. This may be the last chance to save Armenia.

The despotic Pashinyan regime and their cronies, fueled by hatred and coercion, have embarked on a campaign of vilification.

May 11, 2024 By administrator

The despotic Pashinyan regime and their cronies, fueled by hatred and coercion, have embarked on a campaign of vilification targeting not only former government officials but also various Armenian factions such as ARF and Artsakh, as well as aligning themselves with Turkish and Azerbaijani interests, painting anyone who doesn’t fall in line as adversaries, even the Russians. Their latest victim is Bishop Bagrat Galstanyan, now under attack. Discrediting tactics in Armenia now often involve insinuations connecting individuals to the Kremlin, as seen during the 2023 Yerevan elections, where opposition figures were unjustly ‘linked’ to Russia. This time, the defamatory onslaught is directed towards Archbishop Bagrat, with malicious pages allegedly tied to Civil Contract and its affiliates. This criminal regime must be removed at any cost
