‘He probably believes this is a part of historical Armenia’: Bagrat Srbazan on Pashinyan’s decision not to go to Sardarapat

Archbishop Bagrat Srbazan commented on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s decision not to attend the Sardarapat Memorial today. Today, May 28, Armenia celebrates Republic Day.

“This man no longer has anything to do with our country, our symbols. He himself put forward an absurd thesis about historical and real Armenia. He probably believes this is a part of historical Armenia and has nothing to do with real Armenia,” Srbazan said.

According to Srbazan, there are two reasons for this.

“The first reason is that this man has realized that this place is not for him. The second reason is that apparently someone from the outside ordered him not to visit. I feel bad, and I don’t want to talk about him. I am not going to comment on his words in any way. Don’t ask me questions about what is on someone’s mind or heart,” he added.
