Pope Leo XIV’s meeting Tuesday with the head of the Armenian Church, Catholicos Karekin II, was a significant sign for the millions in the country who are pleading for help and protection against an authoritarian prime minister who has targeted the church and made his bed with its enemies. Armenia’s Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, has launched an unprecedented attack on the Armenian church, the country’s oldest institution started in 301 A.D.

In recent weeks, Pashinyan—a convicted felon brought to power with Russian help in 2018 and has presided over a series of territorial losses — has launched a massive assault against the Armenian church, the country’s oldest institution with roots going back to 301 A.D. 

On May 30, 2025, Pashinyan posted a series of abusive and vulgar Facebook statements against the leader of the Armenian church, Catholicos Karekin II, calling for his removal. “Your Eminence, keep sc***wing your uncle’s wife and leave me alone,” he said in one of the statements. The online sniping continued for a few days, while at some point Pashinyan offered to have his genitalia examined for proof that he has not been circumcised, a procedure not common among Christians. While keeping quiet until recently, Catholicos now appears to be willing to push back against Pashinyan’s attacks and his policies. He visited Pope Leo XIV in Vatican on September 16 and reached out to other religious leaders to keep them informed about the conflict.
