The Anti-Church Campaign Has Failed: The Government Is Seeking a Way Out of the Situation

In this program, we discuss the ongoing conflict between the Prime Minister and the Catholicos that has lasted for many months, and the dangers of the accusations the government is circulating against the church. Edmon Marukyan presents his personal experience of meeting with the Pontiff and attempting to take on a mediating role for the purpose of reconciliation. We also discuss what steps Karekin II has taken, why the government's attempts to smooth things over have effectively been closed off, and what the goal of this political line aimed at weakening the church and striking one of the national institutions might be.
