Protest movement in Armenia entering new stage on Oct. 2, leader says
The protest campaign aimed at toppling Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and stopping his territorial concessions to Azerbaijan is entering a new stage on October 2, its leader, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, said on Tuesday.
“It’s a phase of victory and light heralding our persistent, unrelenting and consistent struggle,” he said in a Facebook live video.
Galstanyan stated that the next rally of the Holy Struggle movement in Yerevan’s Republic Square on October 2 will mark the start of renewed efforts for regime change in the country. He also hinted at a change of protest tactics.
“This movement is not constrained by party ideology, this is a struggle of all those who love their homeland regardless of their differences,” the protest leader said.
Galstanyan highlighted that “the removal of evil” remains his main goal.
