Arrests of critics mount as authorities allege a wide-ranging plot to overthrow Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government

An Armenian court on Wednesday ordered the arrest of opposition lawmaker Artur Sarkisyan on charges of participating in a conspiracy to stage a violent coup. The move is seen as part of a broader crackdown by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government against his critics.

Sarkisyan, a member of the nationalist Dashnaktsutyun party, was placed in pretrial detention for two months, one day after the parliament revoked his legal immunity. He dismissed the allegations as a mischaracterization of his involvement in recent mass anti-government protests.

Since 2024, the Caucasus country has witnessed a wave of demonstrations largely connected to the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC). Protesters have accused the Pashinyan government of compromising national interests in its dealings with neighboring Azerbaijan, a longtime rival.

Authorities recently detained two AAC bishops and businessman Samvel Karapetyan, accusing them of orchestrating the alleged coup plot. The government has also moved to nationalize Karapetyan’s energy assets.

On Thursday, law enforcement reportedly searched multiple properties linked to Dashnaktsutyun figures, detaining Arsen Martoyan, head of the party’s Yerevan city committee, along with the son of another opposition MP, Gegam Manukyan.

The Kremlin has called the unrest in Armenia a domestic issue and has said Russia should not get involved. Moscow has offered legal support to Karapetyan, a dual Russian citizen, if he requests it. This week, an appeals court upheld Karapetyan’s pretrial detention, originally imposed in mid-July.

Pashinyan came to power following a wave of anti-government protests in 2018 that pressured his predecessor, Serzh Sargsyan, to resign. His current term as prime minister is set to expire next summer, when Armenians are scheduled to vote in parliamentary elections.
