The Archbishop has been in prison for about 9 months, and the case against him

Aysor, Armenia

Mar 23 2026

“I met with the leader of the ‘Holy Movement,’ Bagrat Galstanyan, at the Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary,” wrote MP Tigran Abrahamyan.

“The Archbishop has been in prison for about nine months, and the case against him and the movement’s activists has long since collapsed. It could not have been otherwise. From the very beginning, the case was built on forgeries, slander, and political dictation. It has no prospects and cannot have any.

Freedom for Archbishop Bagrat and all those subjected to political persecution.”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
