Recent developments

The “Tavush For the Motherland” initiative's march to Yerevan has been ongoing for several days, with Archbishop Bagrat of Tavush becoming the face of the movement.

The ruling party and controlled media continuously publish outright lies about Bagrat's biography. The entire state apparatus and deputies of the ruling party are also actively involved in spreading fakes. Their main methods of slandering include the thesis that the movement is organized by Russia and the ARFD, and if unilateral concessions are stopped, "war will begin."

The ruling party's fakes reach the point of absurdity. The most striking example was the lie that the Archbishop allegedly freed his sons from compulsory military service through bribes, but Bagrat had no sons.

The Speaker of the Armenian parliament also actively joined the attacks against the church, insisting that the church should not interfere. Journalists quickly reminded him how, during the 'velvet revolution' of 2018, he rejoiced and welcomed the clergy. joining the rallies.

During yesterday's press conference, which Pashinyan usually convenes to further spread panic and apocalyptic sentiments among the population, he spoke about the Archbishop as a "drug addict and bandit," although he refrained from directly naming him.

Bagrat, whom Pashinyan's deputies call an "agent of the Kremlin," holds four degrees from London and Montreal, served in Canada for 10 years, received the Queen Elizabeth Medal, and speaks four languages fluently.

Archbishop did not comment on Pashinyan's words; Pashinyan himself was unable to graduate from university.

The Holy See of Echmiadzin and the Supreme Spiritual Council of the Armenian Church characterized the new unilateral concessions as “dangerous for the country”, noting that there should first be a peace treaty and only then a delimitation.

The dioceses of the Armenian Church, including the Artsakh Diocese, called on the faithful to join the “Tavush For the Motherland” movement.

The Armenian Committees of the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Syria, and Europe expressed their sympathy for the Tavush movement. The latter also announced rallies in support of the Tavush movement.
