On May 13, Former Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Avet Adonts criticized Ararat Mirzoyan, the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, for labeling former high-ranking diplomats participating in the "Tavush in the Name of Motherland" protest movement as 'deserters.' Adonts described Mirzoyan's accusations as 'primitive and provincial.' 

"I have serious questions - how can such a person even be capable of establishing working relations with foreign colleagues? I am not talking about his ability to negotiate. This is the highest degree of primitivism," Adonts stated, referring to Mirzoyan. Adonts explained the decision to resign, citing the challenging circumstances Armenia faced in 2021, including the loss in the Karabakh war and the difficult post-war period. Despite presenting their conceptual approaches on crucial issues, such as rebuilding the security system and delimiting the border with Azerbaijan, the government did not acknowledge their efforts. "We turned out to be honest. Being disagreeable with the political leadership, we took and left. We could have stayed and worked, cursing the authorities behind their backs. But no. We submitted our resignations," Adonts emphasized. According to him, Mirzoyan, who was the Speaker of the Parliament at the time, lacked insight into the diplomatic negotiations and utilized inappropriate language for someone of his position.

Meanwhile, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of the "Tavush for the Motherland" protest movement, announced plans to visit Yerevan State University (YSU) on May 14 to greet the students as part of their ongoing civil disobedience. Bagrat outlined further actions, including rallies on Republic Square in the center of Yerevan as deemed necessary, emphasizing the need to increase pressure on the authorities.

Since the early hours of May 14, supporters of the movement have once again blocked streets in Yerevan in response to Bagrat Galstanyan’s call for civil disobedience. Planned actions of peaceful disobedience include locations near metro stations and other significant sites in the city. "Tomorrow, you will increase the pressure again, from south to north; actions of peaceful disobedience, peace, and love must take place throughout the territory of Armenia. The truth will win," Bagrat emphasized.
