Yesterday, 190 individuals had been evacuated from completely different settlements in Armenia, 73 individuals had been rescued by rescuers. The rescuers took out the our bodies of three unknown residents close to Sanahin bridge. 2 individuals are lacking.
Nonetheless, the pure catastrophe didn’t forestall Reverend Bagrat Galstanyan from resuming his actions in Yerevan.
The “chief” of the “Tavush for the Fatherland” motion, Archbishop Bagrat of the Diocese of Tavush (Tovuzgala) of the Church of the Apostle of Armenia (EAK), i.e. Vazgen Galstanyan, is definitely a “Karabag clan” consisting of Armenians initially from Karabakh, Armenian diaspora organizations in international international locations, he’s additionally described as the pinnacle of a “coalition” of teams financed and managed by Russia and Iran.
On April 19, when the method of demarcation and delimitation of the conditional state border between Azerbaijan and Armenia started, Reverend Bagrat introduced his concrete targets.
He demanded the impeachment of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan within the Armenian Parliament, the fast resignation of the Prime Minister and his removing from energy, the holding of extraordinary parliamentary elections, the formation of a brand new authorities and the election of a brand new Prime Minister.
Over the past month and a half, Vazgen Galstanyan allegedly held conferences and discussions with the leaders of all of the camps and forces of the nation’s opposition, and declared that discussions had been held to determine a candidate for the put up of the brand new prime minister.
Over time, it turned clear that the primary purpose of the forces introduced ahead by priest Bagrat is to make sure the return of former president Robert Kocharyan to energy.
It was for this function that the “Armenia” faction consisting of the supporters of Robert Kocharyan and the Dashnaks and the “Sharafim Var” faction of former president Serzh Sargsyan gave “full help” to Galstanyan.
In response to the initially outlined situation, in Armenia, the place the opposition is scattered and weak, by abusing the general public’s belief within the church, Archbishop Bagrat ought to have captured the general public, after which urged to the Armenians that the “most worthy candidate” for the put up of prime minister needs to be Robert Kocharyan.
The organizers and leaders of the anti-Pashinyan coalition didn’t have in mind a small however actual level: if Nikol Pashinyan is resented and disliked in Armenia, Robert Kocharyan is just hated by the vast majority of Armenians.
It is because of this that the scriptwriters of the “Tavush for the Motherland” motion modified their ways yesterday.
Vazgen Galstanyan introduced yesterday on the rally within the Republic Sq. within the middle of Yerevan that he intends to change into the prime minister.
With this, he confirmed that he was a brief determine, or somewhat a puppet. Those that put ahead Galstanyan, those that wish to unite all of the forces which are in strict opposition to Pashinyan in Armenia, contain the church, Dashnaks and diaspora within the quasi-coalition, and finally kind a dynamic and exhausted alliance, have introduced their intentions.
In response to the plan, Vazgen Galstanyan ought to take over the put up of prime minister, then extraordinary parliamentary elections needs to be held and the “coalition” supporting Robert Kocharyan ought to win and Kocharyan ought to take over the prime minister’s powers.
However this situation won’t occur and the explanations are easy:
1. Highway closures. The motion led by Archbishop Bagrat is making an attempt to realize its targets by blocking roads within the capital, Yerevan. The individuals of the motion try to cease the site visitors by stopping vehicles within the streets of town middle, creating “obstacles” with trash cans, and even placing electrical scooters on the highway. Nonetheless, throughout such actions, the highway will not be blocked by rubbish cans or deserted vehicles, however by people who find themselves dissatisfied with the authorities.
2. Need for the put up of prime minister. In response to Archbishop Bagrat, he froze his clerical standing and renounced his Canadian citizenship “so as to have interaction in political exercise freely and legally”. Nonetheless, the official assertion issued by Etchmiadzi right this moment says: “The church-administrative service of Bagrat Galstanyan has been terminated, however his rank of archbishop has been retained.” That’s, Bagrat remains to be a priest and in accordance with the present laws of Armenia, he can’t head the secular authorities.
Plus, he is nonetheless a Canadian citizen. Even when his refusal of Canadian citizenship is formalized, in accordance with the Structure of Armenia, he can’t be a candidate for the put up of prime minister. For this, he should purchase the mandate of deputy within the parliamentary elections held within the nation, after which he should be nominated for the put up of prime minister by a mathematical majority of the members of the parliament.
Since Archbishop Bagrat or Vazgen Galstanyan didn’t dwell in Armenia for the previous 5 years, they have to wait 4 years to be elected as a deputy in accordance with the necessities of the Structure.
… If somebody with clerical consciousness thinks that he can usurp energy in Armenia by breaking the legal guidelines and with the organizational and monetary help of the “Karabag clan” with the church and the Armenian diaspora – he’s making a deep mistake.
Nikol Pashinyan will not be one to surrender his powers simply and hand over energy in a easy format. Quite the opposite, the facility in energy in Armenia is engaged in self-defense by mobilizing all its capabilities, making most use of its potential and administrative leverage.
Archbishop Bagrat, i.e. Vazgen Galstanyan, declared right this moment that the actions to take away Nikol Pashinyan from energy have entered the third and ultimate stage.
In response to him, the final stage needs to be mass civil disobedience of Armenian residents.
This name can be unrealistic and emotional, as a result of the primary drawback within the provinces of Armenia, the place floods and floods are skilled, is the elimination of the results of the pure catastrophe.
The calls for concerning the suspension of the delimitation and demarcation course of and the ultimate peace negotiations are usually absurd. If this occurs, Armenia’s prospects could change into extraordinarily harmful for Armenians.
As for the subregional geopolitical gamers, if the present processes in Armenia deeply fear the West, they’ve began to fret Iran as effectively.
The activation of radical, aggressive and revanchist forces in Armenia doesn’t meet the pursuits of any of the states with pursuits within the South Caucasus area.
Reverend Bagrat, that’s, Vazgen Galstanyan and his house owners didn’t know these factors.
In the event that they know and behave like this, it’s inappropriate to speak about their political understanding and strategic pondering.
Completely pointless and inappropriate.
