Bagrat Srbazan in Noyemberyan: our fight today is against lies

ArmInfo. We need to act as an army, united, without succumbing to provocations. Primate of the 

Tavoush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, His Holiness (Srbazan) Bagrat Galstyan, stated in Noyemberyan addressing the citizens who closed the Noyemberyan-Ijevan road.

" If at least 4-5 people act emotionally during this protest, we will 

not succeed. This fight is against lies.  This is a fight between 

truth and lies. We became part of this lie, because when our brothers 

and sister in Artsakh faced an existential threat, we pretended that 

it did not concern us! But now the one who consistently spreads this 

lie and drives us into this lie must leave," said Bagrat Srbazan .

In the meantime, the police gave the protesters 5 minutes to open the 

road, threatening to disperse them.  To which Bagrat Shrabzan 

suggested the police to go to Voskepar and tell the same to 

Azerbaijanis. "Go to Voskepar, where you guard the Azerbaijanis, to 

carry out the demining and say all this there. It's not for you to 

tell us what to do and where," Srbazan was indignant.

He suggested the citizens to gather in the courtyard of St. Sargis 

Church, form a council of 4-5 people and decide what to do next.

Due to the difficult situation in Tavush, the Noyemberyan 

administration also made a statement, in which it spoke out against 

border delimitation in its current form, considering this process a 

unilateral concession to Azerbaijan

"The delimitation work contains extremely dangerous risks for the 

border security of Armenia, making important sections of the border 

extremely vulnerable. We support the establishment of peace, but not 

through unilateral concessions, especially considering that the 

Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to occupy many sections of Armenian 

territory, including in Tavush," the statement reads, adding that the 

head of the Noyemberyan community, the community leadership, 

including village elders, do not support the delimitation process and 

do not participate in it.

Today, reserve army colonel Mihran Maksudyan said that the deputy 

prime minister and the village elders did not reach a general 

agreement at yesterday's meeting. "As it was decided, so it will be, 

the authorities said. That is, several houses and graves in the 

village of Kirants become the territory of Azerbaijan," Maksudyan 

noted.
