The “anti-Pashinyan coalition” led by the Armenian Church of the Apostle (EAK) and former presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan responded to the statements of the Prime Minister of Armenia.
After all, the Armenian Church was the primary to maneuver. Yesterday, the EAK management gathered all of the bishops in Etchmiadzin and declared that the statements of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan are “basically flawed and inconsiderate phrases”.
The Armenian church, which described Pashinyan’s views on the transparency of Etchmiadzi’s funds, involvement in state management and taxes, as virtually “godlessness”, believes that the authorities try to show the church right into a silent mechanism.
Nonetheless, it isn’t a secret that the Armenian church is not only a non secular construction, it impacts all areas of Armenians’ lives with out exception, diverts the circulation of billions of {dollars} of funds from state management, and directs a big a part of these funds to political actions.
On the assembly in Etchmiadzin, it was mentioned: “Nikol Pashinyan ought to change his coverage. The Armenian authorities ought to bear in mind the historic mission of the Armenian Church of the Apostles, which can be mirrored within the nation’s Structure.”
Nikol Pashinyan can be nervous concerning the exercise of the church, that the clergymen are clearly concerned in politics, and now they’re attempting to overthrow it.
The Prime Minister of Armenia has acknowledged that particular mechanisms shall be ready within the coming months to deliver the monetary flows of the church below state management.
The election of Bagrat Galstanyan, bishop of Tavush (Tovuzgala) Diocese of EAK, because the “chief and image” of the present protests, has typically stuffed the cup of persistence of the official Yerevan.
As well as, it is usually clear that the principle aim of the organizers and leaders of the protests in Armenia is to deliver former President Robert Kocharyan to energy.
B. Galstanyan, answering the questions concerning the unfavourable reception of Kocharyan’s try to return to large politics in Armenia, made an “attention-grabbing” assertion: “You must both kill individuals or give them the precise to vary. There are people who find themselves with me in our firm, and I’m with them, who’re accepted by totally different layers of society. they do not. We do not have sufficient life to maneuver ahead by specializing in rejection.”
Thus, priest Bagrat doesn’t cover the truth that he acted throughout the framework of the plan, directions and pursuits of former president Robert Kocharyan. As if this had been misplaced, he needs the residents of Armenia to present Robert Kocheryan a “probability” to return to energy, that’s, to help him.
Reverend Bagrat additionally emphasizes that “a lot of the forces” presently in opposition to Nikol Pashinyan help the “Tavush for the Motherland” motion, which was carried out by the Armenian church, the Armenian diaspora in overseas international locations, the leaders of the “Karabagh” clan, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, in addition to small opposition teams.
Thus, pastor Bagrat clearly exhibits the weak point of the help potential and digital base of the Armenian opposition within the society, disorganized exercise and lack of any prospects of success within the current case, with out even understanding it.
Any political power that considers itself regular, satisfactory and common would contemplate it a nightmare to help a consultant of an authoritarian church establishment in any political system.
Political organizers, politicians, teams, deputies, and so forth., who supported Reverend Bagrat and took part within the scenes of his tragicomic chapito “Tavush for the Motherland”. Contemplating Bagrat as a “political chief”, they really admitted that they don’t have political views, alternatives and potential.
Reverend Bagrat sia is making ready for provocations in Yerevan on Could 26, Sunday. His plans embody confrontations between his supporters and the police, after which assaults on state and authorities buildings, particularly the parliament, the Authorities Workplace and the presidential residence.
Bagrat Galstanyan has already acknowledged many instances within the final two days that he’ll announce his new motion plan on Could 26, and can “strive to make sure that simpler steps are taken” to realize the impeachment of Nikol Pashinyan and the elimination of the prime minister from energy.
Amongst these steps are mass disobedience, whole confrontation, street closures, even short-term seizure of state and administrative buildings, large-scale riots, and so forth.
Armenia’s regulation enforcement and safety establishments are already prepared for such confrontations.
If Reverend Bagrat pushes his supporters to “extra lively measures” on Sunday, it’ll give Nikol Pashinyan’s authorities a reputable motive for harder, extra decisive and large-scale measures, giving them carte blanche to disperse the protests.
Actually, Nikol Pashinyan ought to have completed all this instantly after coming to energy in 2018, he mustn’t have allowed the union of the church and the quasi-opposition financed and managed from overseas, puppet political actions managed by former presidents.
However neither after 2018, nor after the victory within the parliamentary elections in 2021, the Pashinyan authorities couldn’t predict the results and penalties of amorphous habits, so the state of affairs in Armenia has reached its present state.
… Robert Kocharyan, the Armenian Church and Bagrat Galstanyan, united with Armenian diaspora organizations, Dashnaks and small opposition teams, proceed the “battle” for energy of their world.
However since this battle is solely primarily based on tactical strikes, the dearth of strategic planning doesn’t permit the battle with the authorities in Yerevan to depart the extent of spontaneous speeches and protests.
Nikol Pashinyan, who promised to help him and his workforce, expects sensible motion from the West. The intensification of diplomatic contacts between Yerevan, Washington and Brussels in latest days is expounded to this.
Despite the fact that the West is attempting to implement in Yerevan the scheme it used within the post-Soviet area in relation to the international locations it promised possession and full help to, Nikol Pashinyan has already begun to grasp that the guarantees are an phantasm.
That is what worries the authorities in Yerevan.
