"Our goal is to prevent any new concessions at all costs," Saghatelyan said in a Facebook post. "We have repeatedly declared that our struggle has not stopped, that we have planned concrete steps in the near future. I have said dozens of times, I am repeating again, our goal is to prevent a new capitulation, the Turkification of Armenia." Saghatelyan noted that the formation of what he described as "pan-Armenian resistance" is "vital" and the only way to avoid new losses. "The homeland is what matters, not the removal of authorities in a lost homeland," he added.
