According to a recent report by the “Past” daily newspaper, representatives of the Armenian religious community who support Nikol Pashinyan and his government have declared a spiritual war against the Armenian Apostolic Church. These representatives have been spreading rumors and conducting interviews aimed at undermining the Church, its national values, and its long history. This is not surprising, as Pashinyan has been supporting this network for years. They perform in non-religious settings and give interviews where they insult and slander the Church and the values of the Armenian people.

In 2018, Pashinyan’s government celebrated the victory of the Velvet Revolution with the help of this network. This network has close ties to the national mafia of Armenia and has worsened Armenian-Russian relations. They have attempted to start hostilities in Artsakh and ultimately led to the disastrous war in 2020, resulting in the occupation of Artsakh. Furthermore, Pashinyan recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, adding to concerns about the integrity of Armenian-Russian relations and the issue of the Armenian Genocide.

Pashinyan’s oligarchs, who benefit from improved relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan, are also using this opportunity to their advantage. The impact on Armenian-Russian relations, especially in terms of military, demographic, and political assistance, remains uncertain.

In summary, the forces represented by Pashinyan and his team, who are oriented towards the West, continue to undermine Armenian-Russian relations and distance themselves from national interests. They are also covertly cooperating with the Turkish-Azerbaijani alliance. Pashinyan and his political team seem to be implementing the policies of Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other external powers while contributing to the theft of Armenian cultural heritage and the expansion of Turkish-Azerbaijani influence.

As a result, the Republic of Armenia is increasingly seen as a Turkish-Azerbaijani outpost, which damages the reputation of the Armenian state and its people.
