Archbishop Bagrat Makes New Statement

Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of the Holy Struggle, has sent a letter from the "Yerevan-Center" penitentiary located in the NSS building: "In God We Trust… in process". This is the motto inscribed on the American dollar, indicating a fashionable and modern expression of the worship of the 'golden calf'. Today, this expression—worship of American 'messianism' and the idea of the 'golden calf'—has moved from the dollar to tangibly enter our lives.

On June 16, I mentioned the subsequent steps that would determine further developments: a) a meeting in Turkey and b) either a meeting, signature in Abu Dhabi or Washington. On the last question, I was 'mistaken', as instead of either/or, it became both/and. I've mentioned this in certain circles, even specifying the timeframe—late July, early August, when the holiday period is, and significant internal political developments are unlikely to occur. This was not a prediction but simply internal information conveyed. Of course, skepticism prevailed, considering such a possibility impossible. Indeed, now, through self-negation, it is stated that it has not been signed but pre-signed.

Now, I confidently say that the issue is neither an obstacle nor an unobstructed pathway or corridor; such regulations are neither in place. The so-called corridor is Syunik in its entirety. The evil is to hand over Syunik as a corridor, nicely packaged. Yes, do not forget: 'Artsakh is Armenia, and that's final.' After the preliminary signing on August 8, evil announced: 'Syunik has been Armenian and will remain Armenian.' Does it not awaken some bitter memories... To elaborate further, on the table is the entire section of Verin Gokhakar, the Armenian surroundings of Azatamut-Aygehovit, and Tigranashen is also an addition, with the eastern part of the Sevan basin sharing water usage rights. It's peace.

I will address the remaining developments later. Listening to the word of God: "Their deeds are deeds of iniquity; their hands are filled with iniquity. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths. They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked; no one who treads on them knows peace." (Isaiah 59:6-8) Personally, I am glad that during these days of disgrace I am limited in the penitentiary; however, I feel sorrow for my Homeland and my state that at this moment I cannot be of any help. Nevertheless, I believe that "you shall be called Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight, and your land Married" (Isaiah 62:4-6). Victory has no alternative.

Imprisoned for the Homeland, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan
