The Tavush for the Motherland movement’s march led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, Primate of the Diocese of Tavush of the Armenian Apostolic Church, has reached Republic Square, the heart of Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, where a rally will be held.

A large number of people have already assembled there.

Also, there is a large number of police forces outside the Armenian government building at Republic Square, and they have formed a human chain in several rows.

Chief of Police Aram Hovhannisyan is also there, and he expressed hope that the people will not carry out actions because of which the police will have to use force.

On May 4, the Tavush for the Motherland movement’s march, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, had started from Kirants village of Tavush Province to Yerevan.

As reported earlier, on April 19, the Armenian and Azerbaijani border delimitation commissions agreed to start border delimitation from Tavush Province of Armenia. The description of the given sections of the border line will be drawn up taking into account the clarification of the coordinates made as a result of geodetic measurements on the site, and this will be worded in a corresponding protocol-description, which must be agreed upon and signed by the two parties before May 15.

The office of the Prime Minister of Armenia had announced that as a result of all this, Azerbaijan will receive 2.5 villages, and Armenia will get a reduction of security risks related to border delimitation. A few hundred meters of the motorway will be changed in the Kirants village section, whereas Voskepar village will not have a motorway problem. After the border delimitation, the armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan will withdraw in the area of the four villages, and they will be replaced by the border guards of the two countries.

The participants of the aforesaid march and those who have joined them are against the aforementioned version of border delimitation agreed between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
