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.

The party ruled Armenia for almost two decades.

Pashinyan’s claims that the opposition is preparing a new war with Azerbaijan risks justifying non-democratic and even unconstitutional measures.

Russian–Armenian tycoon Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia party denied the accusations.
