"It is time to unite our efforts, consolidate our people about the only true goal: ensuring national security and preserving Armenian statehood.
The union of the military, clergy and any Armenian concerned about the fate of Armenia will make us more powerful and ready to advance the state interest of Armenia at any cost and everywhere.
We are coming because Armenia needs to restore its former prestige, we are coming because Armenia needs to strengthen its military-political ties with allied and friendly countries. And so, the new power of the "All-Armenian United Council" is based on the trinity of the National Army and the Church, and this unity will signal the beginning of raising our state from its defeated position," the statement said.
