On March 11, the person who usurped the seat of the RA Prime Minister in the European Parliament, overthrew the constitutional order, bombarded his own people and subjected them to political, spiritual and moral repression, caused the deprivation of hundreds of thousands of compatriots, ethnic cleansing, and the suffering of our brothers in Baku prisons, also referred to me, Archbishop Bagrat. Galstanyanis and the Armenian Church in general with lies and deceit specific to him.

I will not refer to him in this writing, because everything with him is more than clear.

My speech is addressed to the members of the European Parliament, who stood and applauded lies and lies. Frankly, the years and events have documented your double standards, how you can violate human rights, individual and national, morality, justice and truth, driven by your own vested interests, out of your geopolitical expediency, and at the same time, shout the loudest about it all.

With all this, let me turn to the speech as a phenomenon. Perhaps, it is a unique or unprecedented case in world history and civilization, when the head of the country complains or, more precisely, gossips about his opponents and those who do not share his views from such a high international platform.

On the contrary, we have seen that this role was assumed by the opponents of the government of the day and/or those who were subjected to political persecution, trying to draw attention to the problems and illegalities in their country.

You also participated in this transformation.

I am sure that many of you represent peoples with rich historical experience, peoples who faced occupation, partition and injustice. It is hard to imagine that you would applaud those who caused such pages in your own history.

I’m sure you applauded with admiration Archbishop Makarios, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Karol Wojtyla, aka Pope John Paul II, clerics who fought for justice and the freedom and rights of their people.

Let me note that neither I nor my brothers have the ambition to be compared to the above-mentioned clerics, but my struggle was and remains for truth, justice, freedom and reconciliation, defending the rights of my deprived people against lies, falsehood, hatred, violence and extradition, for a sovereign and independent state against dependence and external pressures and dictates.

Why did our movement start?

2024 On March 18, the person occupying the seat of the RA Prime Minister, meeting the local population in the villages of Voskepar and Kirants, threatened the people with the language of blackmail and terror, stating that if they oppose the so-called demarcation and demarcation, they will become the cause of war in a week or ten days, putting actual people under heavy responsibility.

The man who was officially called to protect the security of his people was actually threatening that security himself. Meanwhile, 3 years before that, in 2021, the same person assured the same people that there is no question of handing over villages or territories, and if such a question arises, he will cut off his hand, but he will not hand it over.

This (2021) was an election cycle with obvious vote-rigging.

By the way, there is nothing said about demarcation and demarcation in the KP election campaign program. And after only 3 years, the vote beggar was terrorizing his voters.

What was our position?

The issue of the so-called demarcation and demarcation process has two layers: legal and moral.

Legal. Demarcation and demarcation should be carried out exclusively in accordance with RA internal and international laws and principles and not under the threat of force.

Moral. the head of the country cannot lie, deceive, threaten and terrorize his people and the delimitation must be established according to the principle of justice.

Therefore:

a. Delimitation and border demarcation should be carried out with a general peace package, that is, if it is aimed at establishing peace, then it should be just one component of a comprehensive peace process or document with respect for all legal standards, the establishment of the principle of justice, bilateral compromise, the withdrawal of Azerbaijan from the territories occupied by Armenia, the right of return of the people of Artsakh, the freedom of Armenian prisoners and hostages, and the presence or involvement of mediators and guarantors.

b. Start demarcation and demarcation not from Tavush, the “disputed” territories of the 1990s, but from the RA territories occupied by Azerbaijan in the period 2021-24.

c. Delimitation and demarcation cannot happen unilaterally (it was promised that 900 hectares of land belonging to the village of Berkaber, which is under the control of Azerbaijan, will be returned to Armenia. However, this did not happen and will not happen).

d. Border demarcation is a matter of the entire nation and the state, as well as an interstate issue, and not just the responsibility of the residents of two or three villages, therefore, it is a crime to put all the responsibility on the residents of these villages.

Is demanding all these now misinformation or a clear human and civil demand?

I should also add that the person (the Prime Minister of RA), who claimed in 2022 that the internationally recognized borders of RA (I note that such a thing does not exist) is 29,800 square kilometers, suddenly decided in 2023 that the borders of RA are 29,743 square kilometers. In fact, the “internationally recognized borders” of RA changed in just one year. on what basis, by what principle, by what document or map? Can such an approach inspire confidence in the justice of demarcation? And maybe a little later it will turn out that the borders of RA are 29,800 square kilometers according to the newly discovered international recognition?

 What was the government’s response?

First, an informational attack by the fake factory called “fake SNOC” created by them, through their own media, with curses and slanders that insult human dignity, spreading hate speech and threats, brutal police pressure and illegal arrests.

And on June 12, 2024, in the center of Yerevan, peaceful demonstrators were bombed with banned Zarya-3 bombs, not sparing women and children. Hundreds of people were injured in various degrees, subjected to beatings and violence, persecution and threats of losing their jobs, which continues to this day.

And all this happened with your tacit consent, because you were convinced, both in writing and verbally, that this was a “Russian program”. And you are also righteous people and you have been quietly convinced, although even if you were not convinced, you would have convinced or self-convinced, because it requires your geopolitical position and interest and never truth or justice.

What was your reaction?

Yes, you remained silent and continue to remain silent when there was a war in Artsakh, when the people were fighting for their right to live freely. I think you are the “bearer and encourager” of such ideas. Or do these people have no right to have rights?

You remained silent and continue to remain silent when the people of Artsakh were subjected to ethnic cleansing from their cradle, their leaders ended up in the prisons of your beloved and economically beneficial dictator of Baku, subjected to inhumane tortures with enforced justice.

You are silent about the natural right of the Artsakh people to return to their homeland, about the destruction of the cultural heritage of the Artsakh Armenians, but you applaud the co-author of all this.

You must have heard “Woe to you, hypocrites…blind leaders, because you strain out gnats but swallow camels” (Matt. 23:23-24)

Next would be detention

As of June 25, 2025, I and 17 of my supporters, after almost a year of “wiretapping”, stalking, pressure and persecution, are in detention on patently false charges and fraudulent, falsified so-called “evidence”.

The Armenian Church, the Patriarch of All Armenians, high-ranking clergymen, the national benefactor and all those people who disagreed with the whims of your PEOPLE and spoke about justice and rights, truth, protecting their own identity and values, are being subjected to unprecedented repression in the style of the Soviet dictatorship. Among these are MPs, businessmen, politicians, bloggers, youths, women, etc., who are under arrest and restricted by various false criminal proceedings.

And all this again with your tacit consent.

For almost nine months now, the so-called trial theater has been going on, for nine months it has been accompanied by violations of the presumption of innocence by officials of various levels, Public Television has become an exclusive tool for spreading hatred and slander, the Prosecutor General and the head of the Investigative Committee are spreading obvious slander and falsehood, the Anti-Corruption Committee does not accept the report on the crime of official forgery, that is, the entire legal and law enforcement the system operates solely at the behest and coercion of one person, and that one person is your loved one, whom you will unfortunately sacrifice and sell tomorrow, because no more will become obsolete as a useless tool.

And yes, this is all with your tacit consent.

Last word

Nevertheless, I am ready to be in prison, to undergo all this as much as it will take for the liberation of my country, Armenia, my world. I have no doubt that sooner or later my country will be freed from these shackles, humiliations and humiliations, will regain its life and integrity, and then you will silently but applaud your shame.

And our VICTORY HAS NO OTHER CHOICE…

Long live free, just and God-fearing Armenia

Long live the liberated Artsakh

Prisoner of homeland, prisoner of conscience

Prince Bagrat Galstanyan
