In this episode of Insights, host Eric Hacopian covers the dramatic arrests of billionaire Samvel Karapetyan and Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, both accused in connection to an alleged coup plot. Eric unpacks what these charges reveal about rising political tensions in Armenia, the role of Russia, and the state’s approach to dissent. He also examines Prime Minister Pashinyan’s visit to Turkey, why a planned meeting with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev there fell through, and what the failed summit says about the peace process. Finally, Eric responds to the prime minister’s controversial statement that Armenia “gained independence by losing Artsakh,” and asks what such rhetoric means for the country’s future.

Funny you never hear about this stuff in america its always how bad christians and jews are treating the barbaric Palestinians who want the land they lost in war given back to them even tho theres not one example of islam giving land back to the people they took it from in war
Matthew 7:17-23. We asked Armenians looked away too long ever since the genocide, 1933, 1950s, etc. Time to cut down trees not bearing fruit.
Dear Eric I think you are being very soft on our "Hezor" PM !!
Interesting and unorthodox view on pashinian visit to turkey, thank you

Pashinyan is doing good. He is avoiding the mistake that Saakashvili committed in 2012 when he handed power to Kremlin affiliated oligarch. Look where we are now.
Sincerely from your northern neighbor
For how long Armenia should be isolated? Closed border with two neighbors. Iran's border is very fragile. Georgia border 😬.
Pashinyan is doing RIGHT!
Pashinyan is a complete failure. We found Armenia by losing Artsakh. That should have been his original campaign slogan so,he would never have been voted in.
PM is in fear for losing his status and power 😅 he’s delusional
Shame on you Eric comparing Pashinian's statement about Artsakh to the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. That is blasphemy. I as a Christian find it very offensive. You said the Early Church believed it was a victory. So the newer Christians do not believe it a victory? The death of Christ on the cross and his resurrection was/is a victory unlike the loss of Atsakh. Read the Bible!
The toolkit has been activated by the opposition politics but got shutdown immediately.
We are cursed because we dont love each other. Its really that simple 🤷♂️
Pashinyan left the defenders of Artsakh for over forty days getting shelled by Turkey & its drones & did not relieve any of them. Turkey/Azergayjan used to change the front line soldiers every fortnight giving them a rest & letting fresh soldiers take charge. Artsakh was betrayed.
pashinoglu stupid statements and stories never end
Lying and betraying Armenia and Armenians- you are paid by aliev 🤮
Armenian mathematician Emil Artin founded modern general algebra
It is in such times that a nation MUST pull together , freedom of thought and expression is precious and it is ONLY earned , the free and high minded Armenians in the republic MUST avoid targeted crowdsourcing misinformation and disinformation , and would urge all to listen to recent EVN Report available in YouTube: “Examining the Context ; Subversion and Electoral Interference, Russia and Armenia 2026”… Things can get worst easy and quick , so the nation MUST choose WISELY and NOT select Otherwise !!!
You have milked the Armenian. People became a billionaire on the backs of tortured families as well as the Bishop that you protect both of you are corrupted Russian supporters.
Thorough as usual
"Don't believe your lying eyes, stolen territory is a victory"
-Pashinyin
The arrests were warranted, and the trip was worth it. Time will prove these points. What you call insult to your intelligence is actually inconvenient truth. Get over the cognitive dissonance.
I like the crossification example. Nicely said
If Pashinyan was decent man , he will stepped down, but looks like “Power” is very “sweet thing”.
let me guess without even watching this video Eric Hakopian is going to blindly support nikol & his team
If we were a smart people we should have offered a swap Artsakh for Nkhichevan (as it was suggested in the 1920s) the war could have been avoided and Armenia instead of Piece of Sh…t Georgia could have that Oil pipe going through her territory. I know it is a radical suggestion, however what did we get out of it, Nothing except thousands of Armenian boys lying in Yerablur and a national tragedy.
Honestly to say I’m frustrated with this unending globally embarrassing clown show is an understatement. We’ve elected a vulgar crass foulmouthed mediocrity who’s lost every war, accomplished absolutely nothing but antagonizing everyone, gaslights everyone whilst destroying social cohesion. Then as if that’s not enough humiliation we’ve set a corrupt oligarchic opposition whose track record is even worse against him as some sort of counter weight. Is it any wonder that we never seem to win any wars and always end up in an ever shrinking homeland? Us Armenians are our own worst enemy.
