Today, after searches, the National Security Service of Armenia reported the detention of more than a dozen opposition members, including the leader of the "Sacred Struggle", Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan - the main opponent of the government of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

In addition to him, Karabakh MP David Galstyan, retired colonel Migran Makhsudyan, member of the Supreme Body of the ARF Igor Sargsyan, businessman Tigran Galstyan, MP from the "Hayastan" faction Artur Sargsyan and others were also detained.

Nikol Pashinyan himself published a copy of the "failed" opposition plan to remove him from power on a social network. He believes that the authors of the plan are former Armenian presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, the recently arrested businessman, Russian citizen Samvel Karapetyan and the head of the Armenian Church Garegin II

The Kremlin stated that the statement of the Armenian Prime Minister about preventing an attempted coup in the country is an internal matter for Yerevan.

"Of course, we are interested in the preservation of law and order in Armenia, so that Armenia is a prosperous, stable country, friendly to Russia," the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee of Armenia reported on the prevention of an attempted terrorist attack and seizure of power in the country, suspecting the leader of the "Sacred Struggle", Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan.

According to the investigation, Galstanyan and a number of supporters planned to form about 200 "shock" groups from former military and police officers. They were supposed to be located in various settlements and take active actions in order to create chaos and confusion.

On June 19, a court in Yerevan arrested Russian businessman, billionaire, head of the Tashir Group of Companies Samvel Karapetyan for two months. Earlier, he publicly stood up for Catholicos Garegin II. Karapetyan was accused of publicly calling for the seizure of power in Armenia.
