A Knight's Move Against the Opposition: What Samvel Karapetyan's House Arrest Means

In this episode, I analyzed the government's manipulative political toolkit. I commented on the change in Samvel Karapetyan's restrictive measure as a calculated political move and its subtext.

The government is trying to use these mechanisms to make electoral behavior controllable: on one hand, it reduces the influence of the church while keeping the clergy under pressure; on the other hand, it seeks to make the votes of the "Merzehov" movement manageable.

Thus, it is necessary not to give in to these manipulations and to provide a sober, risk-based assessment of the government's real game.
