The main goal of the Resistance Movement is to build a strong Armenia, Ishkhan Saghatelyan, vice-speaker of the Armenian parliament, one of the leaders of the opposition said, at a rally in Yerevan.

He believes that Nikol Pashinyan's governance is a major obstacle to achieving this goal, and his removal is a priority task at this stage.

At the same time, the politician noted that the mission of the movement will not end with Pashinyan's departure.

"After Nikol Pashinyan's departure, the ideas and goals voiced by our movement will become the main functions of the state. The next power should be able to resist and overcome the challenges facing the state. I am sure we will be able to do it together," he said.

Saghatelyan said that the opposition movement is in the process of transformation. Special commissions and structures have been set up. The main task for the nearest period will be joint discussion of the ways and mechanisms to achieve the goals.

Concluding his speech, Saghatelyan proposed to go to the traditional procession through the city center, after which to return to the square and present plans for the near future.
