As Armenia prepares to observe the anniversary of its Declaration of Independence, a prominent religious leader has described the nation as confronting severe spiritual and moral crises. Speaking during judicial proceedings, the cleric emphasized that the foundational principles of independence are now under threat.
The spiritual leader characterized the current period as one of profound national struggle, asserting that the country requires not merely a change in leadership but a fundamental internal transformation. He pointed to recent events as evidence of a societal shift, referencing a specific case involving a young individual as symbolic of broader national developments.
Addressing the court, the speaker honored those who have chosen to stand by their principles despite personal risk, contrasting them with others who have abandoned their duties. He framed the ongoing legal and political processes as part of a larger effort to reclaim national dignity and purpose.
The comments come amid ongoing national discussions about Armenia’s direction and identity, with the Independence Day anniversary serving as a backdrop for reflections on the country’s current challenges and future prospects.
