📢 “Law enforcement officers disrupted a large-scale and sinister plan by the criminal oligarchic clergy to destabilize the situation in the Republic of Armenia,” Pashinyan wrote on social media.
🏠 On the morning of June 25, law enforcement officers conducted searches at the homes of movement members and at the residence of the archbishop.
💣 Armenia’s Investigative Committee claimed that Galstanyan was allegedly preparing terrorist attacks and a power grab — he had “acquired means and created the necessary conditions,” acting as part of a conspiratorial group.
📄 Earlier, the Civic publication released a document reportedly obtained from “reliable opposition sources,” outlining a step-by-step coup plan, a list of participants, and available resources.
⚔️ The confrontation between Pashinyan and Archbishop Galstanyan has been ongoing for several months and has now escalated into open accusations of an attempted coup d’état.
