VIDEO: Let Our Journey Be a March Towards Immortality, a Return to Our Ancestors' Identity and Truth, Says Bishop Bagrat

Participants of the march from Kiran to Yerevan, led by Bagrat Archbishop Galstanyan of the Tavush Diocese, have reached Haghartsin. Bishop Bagrat rang the bells of the church.

"Our monasteries and temples have been inherited. We did not earn them. Where is our Gandzasar, Amaras, and Ghazanchetsots? Where are they, where? They are not present. We have easily left everything behind. We are children of a nation that was described by Movses Khorenatsi as the greatest among the northern nations. We have no right to let our lives turn into something purely diminished by daily existence. I have called this movement, this journey, a movement of 'expectations.' I want to add—let it be a march towards immortality, through which we will return to our ancestors' identity and truth, to knowledge and scholarship. We can look each other in the eye and say—we are the heirs of this heritage and we have earned it," said Bishop Bagrat in his speech.

It is worth noting that members of the "Tavush for the Homeland" movement, under the leadership of Bishop Bagrat, began their march to Yerevan at noon from Kiran. They are expected to reach Yerevan on May 9.

“The disastrous process of unilateral concessions has no end or limit. We are in a significant, incomprehensible process of bloodletting from north to south. This process must be stopped,” Bishop Bagrat announced before the march.
