Pashinyan makes a statement, and then they start arresting him.
December 02, 2025
On air, we touch on the latest developments in the Armenian Church. We discuss Archbishop Michael's visit to the Investigative Committee, the events that followed, and how they are changing the Church's internal political dynamics. We analyze the notion that Pashinyan's goal is to restore the Church's pyramid, a process that could enter a decisive phase in the coming days. If His Holiness begins to seek compromises, it could seem that the Church's position will be significantly weakened from that point on.

We also discuss what should have been done following the arrest of Archbishops Bagrat and Michael, and whether this step could create the preconditions for increased pressure on the Mother See. The Armenian Apostolic Church is presented as one of the most authoritative institutions in Armenia, which, according to some, hinders the military-political ambitions of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Consequently, there is a widespread belief that the authorities' agenda includes a plan to split and weaken the Church.
