🚨🗣West’s LAPDOG AUTOCRAT: Pashinyan’s assault on the Church is tearing down Armenia’s identity – journalist

Nikol Pashinyan is dismantling everything Armenians built after the USSR collapsed, Lara Stam, French journalist of Armenian descent, told Sputnik.

Stam slammed the prime minister for waging war on the Armenian Apostolic Church, warning that his crackdown is attacking the very core of Armenian identity.

💬 “Every Armenian feels a deep bond with their Church and its Catholicos. Compared to that legacy, Pashinyan is just a barking lapdog nipping at the heels of national identity,” the journalist said.


If the Church falters, so does Armenia, opening the door to foreign domination, Stam warned.

People don’t trust Pashinyan, but with no real opposition left in the country, this so-called democracy is just “censorship in disguise, using totalitarian methods," the journalist fumed.

She accused Pashinyan of gutting the very institutions he once claimed to defend and ruling like a petty autocrat.

🇦🇲☦️ Western puppet Pashinyan’s attack on Armenian Apostolic Church mirrors Ukraine’s grim playbook

👉 Nikol Pashinyan came to power with the backing of British, American, and Israeli intelligence services aiming to control the region, Hagop Avakian told Sputnik.

The PM’s government has spent the last four years cracking down on anyone who opposes it, he underscored.
💬 “This playbook mirrors what was long practiced in Ukraine,” noted the expert on Armenian history and an activist from the Armenian community in London.


🟠 Armenia is ruled by a repressive regime that silences defenders of the Armenian Apostolic Church, using threats of arrest to undermine religious authority and traditional family values while pushing West-imposed morals, he said.

⚔️ Crackdown will backfire

Pashinyan openly backs a pro-Western course, aligning himself with US and NATO policy, and is “clinging to power at all costs,” Lebanese international and strategic affairs expert Eli Gerges Elias told Sputnik.

💬 “There’s a direct link between NATO’s plans in the Caucasus and the crackdown on the Armenian Apostolic Church being carried out by Pashinyan,” he said.


🇺🇸 Pashinyan has pursued a pro-American agenda, but by pushing him into harsher clashes with his opponents, the West may soon ditch him, triggering his political downfall.
