Public opinion surveys say that Karapetyan would be Pashinyan’s primary opponent in the June elections.

RFE/RL has reported that the decision was pending approval from the EU’s foreign ministers.

This is the latest in a series of arrests involving members of tycoon Samvel Karapetyan’s party.

The two women were detained for promoting the Strong Armenia party ‘under the guise of charity’.

The crisis between the Armenian Church and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government has been ongoing since May 2025.

The Strong Armenia with Samvel Karapetyan can no longer use the name of the Russian–Armenian tycoon.

Following the meeting, Moscow offered critical remarks regarding Armenia and its ties and projects with the EU and US.
