The enemy has already invaded the territory of our sovereign state, some time ago and again today.

We are not complete in terms of our territory, people or spirit.

The enemy has also entered our lifestyle, affecting us internally, penetrating every layer of our public life. It has put people in boxes, dividing into us and them, black and white, incumbents and formers,  those who come from this and that region, living and dead.

One may say it is not the right time to protest. However, I am the first to state - it is the time to get united.

Nevertheless, we cannot unify under the guidance of the incumbent ruler, since he is neither a leader, nor a commander-in-chief, nor a unifier, nor a justice server.

He is the main and nominal responsible and the offender who is to blame for the repeated violation-concession of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia, its restriction of sovereignty, the loss of most part of Artsakh and, in fact, its border with Armenia, the martyrs of our golden generation, including the sacrifice of each of today's invaluable guys.

While Ilham Aliyev stands before the international court as a war criminal, it is necessary that first Nikol Pashinyan and then the rest answer in the national court of justice.

The new battle of Sardarapat, patriarch Hayk’s battle in its improbability, can only take place in spite of him, never with his presence.

I mourn and disapprove that I have to make this record today, but this is the only way to unity, hope, dignity and nationwide historical salvation.

For the sake of Faith and for the sake of Homeland, let's decide, protect and live.
