Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan saw the elections as part of his competition with the Church leadership.

Carlson attempted to frame the conflict between Pashinyan and the church as part of a ‘global war on Christianity’.

Tsarukyan said the new initiative aims to unite ‘knowledgeable and capable individuals’ from Armenia.

Daron Acemoglu will join jailed mogul Samvel Karapetyan’s political movement as an economic advisor.

Former human rights defender Arman Tatoyan is intending to run against Pashinyan with his new political movement Wings of Unity.

Kocharyan also said it was ‘fortunate’ that Pashinyan ‘was not born a girl; he would have been a national disgrace’.

Armenia is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections in June 2026
