Tavush for Motherland movement follow-up to previous processes - Alen  Simonyan 

Tavush for Motherland movement follow-up to previous processes - Alen  Simonyan 

ArmInfo. The current movement "In the Name of the Motherland" is a direct continuation of similar  processes that took place in the recent past, Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Alen Simonyan told reporters on May 21.

According to him, there is nothing extraordinary in the new movement,  just the leader of the previous movement, ex-Prime Minister Vazgen  Manukyan, was replaced by the head of the Tavush diocese of the  Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan. They all  have the same agenda and the same goals. In practice, the speaker  continued, the political opposition, represented by the same  individuals and the same slogans, presented a political bid for a  change in power, and therefore the authorities do not have any new  emotions. "In no country in the world can the government have 100th  support from citizens, and Armenia is no exception. I don't see  anything extraordinary in the current movement. Obviously, we must  have an opposition that must have its own agenda. Impossible imagine  that within the walls of parliament the ruling party was represented  100%. The same thing happens in society, which in itself is a sign of  a normal democratic state," Simonyan emphasized.

Protests in Armenia began after it became known on April 19 that  Yerevan and Baku agreed to begin delimitation from Tavush. Having led  the procession from Tavush to Yerevan, on May 9, the head of the  Tavush diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat  Galstanyan called on the Prime Minister to resign. The demand for  resignation remained unanswered, after which Galstanyan announced the  beginning of acts of disobedience.
