All conversations and a fragment of the recording with Archbishop  Bagrat Galstanyan are manipulative - ARF

ArmInfo.  All conversations and videos involving the leader of the "Sacred Struggle" movement, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, are manipulative, as stated by Ishkhan Saghatelyan,  deputy from the opposition faction "Armenia"in the National Assembly of Armenia, during a conversation with journalists on July 4.

According to him,  there is no need to talk about any acts of  terrorism in relation to the archbishop. In this matter, the  authorities are trying to convince the public of the reality of such   events, but eventually, it will be revealed that nothing of the sort  occurred.

Saghatelyan recalled that earlier, as part of the protest movement,  opposition representatives had blocked roads to prevent officials and  responsible persons from leaving the country. At that time, roads  were closed in four directions. Ishkhan Saghatelyan, when discussing  the arrest of Archbishop Bagrat and the famous recordings, said that  all of this is a show, and those who are "fabricating" a case against  the archbishop will eventually  answer for it. "All those responsible  for all these outrages will be held accountable. For four years, we  have been on the streets, there have been many movements involving  tens of thousands of people, carrying out various acts of  disobedience, we have not damaged a single car mirror, while this  government has fired upon the people several times. Only in the June  events of last year, about 200 people were injured.  Can you tell me,  how many cars were burned  and how many buildings were broken in the  span of four years? Everything we did was legal. The authorities used  excessive force," the deputy said, noting that all the accusations  against the archbishop are fabricated to compromise the clergy and  the Armenian Apostolic Church. 

The deputy emphasized that he holds meetings with citizens almost  every day  to discuss the possibilities of organizing resistance  groups. However, this does not mean that it's about  organizing  terrorist groups.
