“You will get answers from us, Ilham, son of Haidar,” Bishop Bagrat said.

“Azerbaijan and Turkey are very concerned about the gradual development of the holy struggle,” said Rev. Bagrat, leader of the “Tavush for the Motherland” movement, in the courtyard of St. Anna’s Church.

He mentioned that Azerbaijan and Turkey have frequently issued threats, including calls to send troops to Armenia. “This should give us a reason to analyze it seriously. Two important things happened on May 28: First, perhaps seeing that this holy struggle could not be stopped, President Aliyev personally joined the battle. He said: ‘We are also following the latest developments in Armenia, so we should be ready at any time. We need to further strengthen our troops.'”

Bishop Bagrat said that there was no reaction from the Armenian side to this statement, noting: “They attack us silently, but when Aliyev says something, there is no response. Let’s think about it. Perhaps this is also the reason why Turkey has been anxiously following the development of our struggle for a long time. They understand that the victory of the movement will close the window of opportunity that opened for them, when they can take everything from the RA and make us dependent on them.

Their anxiety has reached the point where Aliyev had to directly threaten us with sending troops, and the Turkish President is convening a Security Council meeting, one of the main topics of which is Armenia. They keep talking about sovereignty, but they say nothing about this direct interference in our internal affairs. Our enemies are against our struggle and rejoice in police violence. This is enough for us to understand that this campaign will lead to the strengthening of the Armenian armed forces regardless of our enemies. Heydar’s son Ilham, I know that your representative ambassadors are in Armenia, but they have nothing to do with Armenia and the Armenian people; they are your hostages, your prisoners. You will get your answers from us. ”

They will change the course of history, Bagrat assured. “It’s not a question of getting rid of one person and not getting rid of another. Feel it with your heart. Forget about technology and so on, and understand that each of you is part of an event that changes history. You are a bearer, you are a participant. In 20 years, your children and grandchildren will tell you: ‘We heard that in your time, they did something in the streets, but you said: I didn’t like this, he didn’t like that, he did this, and a priest came and he said: I froze. (It is worth noting that Bagrat Sirbazin has announced a temporary cessation of his spiritual activities, which has caused sarcastic reactions)I kept warm, everyone left and went home. “Look at yourself in 20 years, we can change history today. Think about this, this is what we need. There is no other value. Think clearly. We need will, hard work, patience, discipline and trust. All this is to change history.”

“The fighting will continue for some time tomorrow,” Pastor Bagrat said at the end of his speech.
