How has the relationship between the Armenian government and the Church evolved, leading to the current conflict?

Pashinyan's accusations against the Armenian Church stem from the Church's growing opposition to his government, particularly after Armenia's 2020 war defeat. The Church's vocal dissent, including demands for Pashinyan's resignation and the right of return for Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, directly contradicts Pashinyan's peace negotiation strategy with Azerbaijan. This conflict is further fueled by the upcoming 2026 election.

What are the potential consequences if Azerbaijan attempts to forcefully open a corridor through Syunik, and how might regional actors respond?

Experts fear Azerbaijan may exploit regional instability to forcefully open a corridor through Syunik, despite official denials. Recent intensified Azerbaijani talks with Tehran and Tel Aviv raise concerns about potential concessions from Armenia to secure their cooperation. This concern is heightened by the potential for large-scale conflict involving Israel and Iran, making a corridor through Iranian territory too risky for Azerbaijan.

How do the scale and nature of the 2023 protests, and Pashinyan's response, reveal the underlying power dynamics within Armenian society?

Pashinyan's targeting of the church is a preemptive move to weaken a powerful opponent. Migranyan suggests the church's financial, organizational, and mobilization capabilities pose a serious threat, especially given upcoming 2026 elections. The peace treaty with Azerbaijan, which includes recognizing Azerbaijan's territorial integrity over Karabakh and potentially concessions to Turkey, fuels Pashinyan's anxieties.
