The continuing dispute between Armenia’s government and the Catholicosate of Etchmiadzin is no longer confined to Armenia’s domestic political and religious sphere. The position adopted by the Armenian Patriarchate of Istanbul raises a wider question: when does ecclesiastical solidarity begin to acquire political consequences? ⛪⚖️ 📘 CHURCH-GOVERNMENT TENSION IN ARMENIA AND THE STANCE OF THE ARMENIAN PATRIARCHATE OF ISTANBUL ✍️ Author: Mehmet Oğuzhan TULUN 🔗 Read the full commentary: https://avim.org.tr/en/Yorum/CHURCH-GOVERNMENT-TENSION-IN-ARMENIA-AND-THE-STANCE-OF-THE-ARMENIAN-PATRIARCHATE-OF-ISTANBUL The commentary examines the Armenian Patriarchate of Istanbul’s support for Catholicos Karekin II in his dispute with the Pashinyan government. It emphasizes the historically independent institutional position of the Istanbul Patriarchate and questions whether involvement in Armenia’s internal political-religious controversy is compatible with its role and responsibilities in Türkiye. The issue also carries a foreign-policy dimension. Türkiye and Armenia are pursuing a normalization process based on sensitive political and regional balances, while Karekin II is presented in the commentary as a prominent opponent of this process. Against this background, the analysis argues that the Patriarchate’s intervention deserves consideration not only from an ecclesiastical perspective but also in terms of Türkiye–Armenia relations. 🧭 💬 How can religious institutions maintain ecclesiastical ties without becoming participants in political disputes that may affect interstate normalization? #Türkiye #Armenia #SouthCaucasus #ArmenianPatriarchate #TürkiyeArmeniaRelations #Normalization #RegionalDiplomacy
