Tensions are rising in Armenia between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's government and the Armenian Apostolic Church. The government says it is pursuing lawful investigations into senior clerics over alleged misconduct and risks of political destabilization, while church leaders contend they are facing political pressure. The dispute, which has intensified since June, is sharpening debates over religious freedom and national identity.
A technical failure in the official aircraft forced Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to land in Ankara, Turkey, while heading to the European Political Community summit in Armenia. He will spend the night there and resume the trip Monday morning. Arrival in Yerevan is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. Spanish time.
