ArmInfo.The head of the Tavush for the Motherland movement, Primate of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan agreed to become a candidate for the post of Prime Minister of Armenia. Galstanyan himself announced this on May 26 at a rally on Republic Square.
He also informed that he was temporarily suspending his spiritual activities. "I asked His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, to freeze my 30-year spiritual service," the archbishop noted.
He also recalled that this movement began in the border zone against lies and in the name of truth, and it was carried out with the blessing of the Lord. Next, he turned to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and called on him to resign. "Nikol Pashinyan, we don't want your political team to split, to set one person against another, an Armenian against an Armenian.
I am addressing the representatives of the "Civil Contract". If your boss still despises all of you and leads to division, we can also create such division. Try your best not to reach this watershed, and it won't be easy. To summarize, I want to say that the victory of truth has no alternative," he emphasized.
At the end of the rally, he again addressed Nikol Pashinyan and noted that he was going to the government dachas to meet with him. "You once considered yourself a people's man, rode a bicycle, collected garbage from the ground, but very soon you began to fly in a helicopter, protected by a huge number of police. I invite you to come and get to know these people, not only as an individual, but also as a person. If you never come, then, of course, you will have long-exhausted legal legitimacy, but now I emphasize even more that you have no moral legitimacy either," he concluded. Thousands of citizens came to Republic Square today demanding the resignation of the current prime minister.
