ArmInfo.Participants in the "Tavush for the Motherland" movement began a march to the buildings of higher educational institutions in the country.
At Yerevan State University, representatives of the protest movement were greeted with the song "Sardararapat".
Passing cars also greet protesters with long horns.
Speaking to the participants of the impromptu rally, the leader of the movement, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, expressed gratitude to the YSU students who went on strike and joined the protests. He expressed confidence that students from other higher educational institutions in the country will join YSU students. Galstanyan emphasized that students have always been the driving force protesting against any anti-people actions on the part of the authorities.
Currently, Armenia finds itself in the position of a country on its knees, which is reflected in the life of every citizen. The Archbishop recalled yesterday's rally, which attracted hundreds of thousands of people. "This rally is only the beginning of that big wave that should lead to the victory of our truth. Our struggle is more than a struggle for territories, it is a struggle for our national values, for the truth. Unfortunately, the current rulers of Armenia do not stop sowing for a minute lies and falsifications. Every second the citizens of the country are presented with another lie. Our goal and our struggle is the struggle for truth, and the main carriers of this struggle are the students," the archbishop emphasized.
He noted that the movement will move in a procession to other universities in the country. "Students of the Polytechnic University are waiting for us, after which we will visit other higher educational institutions. Calmly, without tension, we will continue our march, and then in the evening we will meet at Republic Square," said the leader of the movement, adding that all the problems of the Armenian state will be resolved. "We simply have no other alternative. God bless us. Armenian, Armenia, Motherland, God," the archbishop concluded his speech.
