Armenia's Struggle for Post-Conflict Future Meets Church Resistance
As Armenia approaches its next parliamentary elections, a rift is widening between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's government and the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC).
The conflict, which began as a quiet dispute over moral authority, has evolved into a political confrontation that threatens the stability of Armenia's democracy and its prospects for peace with Azerbaijan.
Pashinyan, once trusted by the public, now faces an opposition that uses the Church as a vehicle for nationalist and revanchist forces.
The arrest of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the "Holy Struggle" movement, marks a turning point in this escalating conflict.
The Church, long regarded as the moral compass of the Armenian nation, has become the new vehicle for Armenia's nationalist and revanchist forces.
Author's summary: Armenia's democracy is threatened by a rift between the government and the Church.
