Armenian Archbishop Marches for Homeland Reclamation
Archbishop Leads Protest March in Armenia Against Border Talks
An outspoken archbishop, Bagrat Galstanian, is leading a march to the Armenian capital, Yerevan, to protest border demarcation talks with Azerbaijan. Galstanian and his supporters are demanding that the process be suspended, citing concerns over potential concessions that could be made to Azerbaijan.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian has repeatedly warned that failure to reach an agreement with Azerbaijan could reignite conflict in the region. The border demarcation talks have been a point of contention between the two countries, with both sides claiming territorial rights over certain areas.
Galstanian’s march to Yerevan is just one example of the growing opposition within Armenia to the border negotiations. Many Armenians fear that any concessions made to Azerbaijan could compromise their country’s sovereignty and security.
The march serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, stemming from decades of conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. As both countries continue to navigate the delicate issue of border demarcation, the role of public figures like Archbishop Galstanian highlights the complexity and sensitivity of the situation.
