The Church as the Last Stronghold: Who is Behind the Protests Against Pashinyan

Currently, the power struggle in Armenia is unfolding between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Garegin II.

The current government has concentrated its main efforts on confrontation with the church. This explains why the weakened revanchist forces, having lost their former influence, are beginning to rally around the church, which remains their last stronghold.

A recent protest near the Armenian Embassy in Moscow, directed against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, was organized specifically in defense of the church.

At the same time, former President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan stated that he and his supporters are ready to take any steps as directed by Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II.

The Catholicos himself, seeking to gain external support, after visiting France, this time traveled to the USA.

In Los Angeles, he called on his supporters to fight against the arbitrary actions toward the church.
