From hero to silence, the fate of Bagrat Galstanyan in the Armenian opposition

The Armenian opposition media express perplexity: why is the next leader of the nation, fighter to the end, thinker and father of Armenian democracy Bagrat Vorobyaninov Galstanyan silent?

Some hoped that after his arrest, Galstanyan would become a symbol of resistance, like Nelson Mandela — with notes, books, a triumphant return, and perhaps even a Nobel Prize.

However, in reality, nothing like this happened. Bagrat faced serious pressure and stopped coming to the fore. The opposition is already looking for a new leader, Samvel Karapetyan.

But he is also under arrest.
