A platform was created for the protection of the church. Ara Zohrabyan

There can be several reasons for this policy of the government dissolving the church, starting from the spiritual (the fight against Orthodoxy) to the fact that the Church is hindering the Turkish-Azerbaijani rapprochement. The Church, as the custodian of the Armenian identity, as well as the claimant on the Artsakh issue, a national institution feeding the demand for the condemnation and recognition of the Armenian Genocide, is not acceptable to the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem. Lawyer Ara Zohrabyan wrote about this. "The authorities started actions to weaken the Church earlier, before the war (remember, for example, the initiative to exclude the history of the Armenian Church from educational programs, the attempt to abolish tax benefits, etc.). 2025 since May, the church-dissolving policy has been manifested in more brutal methods: various criminal proceedings, criminal prosecutions of clergymen, arrests, arrests, searches, confiscation of things, as well as defamation of the Church and clergymen.
