Natalya Saghiyan from Yerevan, Armenia joins me to discuss widespread unrest in Armenia, the Iran-Israeli war, and the role of the USA and how it all impacts Armenia.
Thousands of people have joined a march in support of detained Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan and the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) in the city of Vagharshapat, home to the country’s most important Orthodox site, the Etchmiadzin Cathedral.
In recent weeks, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan repeatedly has attacked the church, accusing it of corruption and other violations.
He also urged the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos Garegin II, to step down over what he called a breach of his vow of celibacy.
