Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian said that the security forces thwarted a plan to destabilize Armenia, linked to a religious official, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanian, who organized protests against him. The attempted coup reflects deteriorating relations between the government and the Armenian Apostolic Armenian Church, which has significant influence in Armenian society. Armenia, the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion, is facing major internal tensions.
