In a startling turn of events, Armenia finds itself gripped by tension as Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, alongside a faction of dissenters, challenges the leadership of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The uprising, sparked by opposition to the return of exclave villages to Azerbaijan, has raised questions about the stability of the government and the possibility of Pashinyan's ousting.

Galstanyan and his supporters, labeled as "revanchists," have escalated their demands, calling for Pashinyan's resignation amidst growing discontent. Threatening peaceful disobedience if their grievances are not addressed, the group has captured national attention and stirred speculation about the outcome of their rebellion.

Armenian political activist and political commentator Ishkhan Verdiyan shared his thoughts on the topic with Ednews. He said that Archbishop Bagrat and his supporters will fail, and the people are with the prime minister.

"Protests in Armenia, as always, face failure. Of course, it is very "tempting" to draw a parallel with Nikol Pashinyan's uprising, but then the situation was completely different. Then the people rebelled against the elite, and today the elite is rebelling against the people. These elites have long discredited themselves, they have neither authority nor influence, and they have only the fear of losing their looted property.

Bagrat Galstanyan can say what he wants, but the people perceive him as an empty person. He cannot cause political changes in the country. Neither Bagrat nor those gathered around him are doomed to failure. The people of the Republic of Armenia firmly stand behind their chosen leader and will not allow him to be overthrown."
