The Hayakve initiative is in Etchmiadzin. Coordinator of the
initiative Avetik Chalabyan said this during his Facebook live stream.
“You were often asking us when we would come to
Etchmiadzin. As you can see, we are already here, despite many obstacles,”
he noted.
Representatives of the Yazidi community in Armenia also
joined Hayakve in Etchmiadzin.
“I fought in the Artsakh war in 1989. I was in the province
of Hadrut. Unfortunately, today, Hadrut is controlled by Azerbaijan. I lost
Armenian heroes. We fought, and we won. Then my cousin, Kyaram Sloyan was
beheaded. What was that for? Did we all do that, so that they would trample on
the land where so much blood was spilled? I call on everyone to join Hayakve,
so that Artsakh will not be ceded to the Turks. We must reestablish rule over
our historical lands,” the representative of the Yazidi community from
Etchmiadzin said.
In Etchmiadzin, the Hayakve initiative will operate at 8
Mashtots Street, in the building of the war veterans.
“We have no piece of land to be ceded. We shed blood,
fought and protected our homeland. Now we do not want to lose it. We do not
want to undermine security along our borders,” a veteran from Etchmiadzin
noted.
