The political situation in the Caucasus region has not achieved peace for many years. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Recently, an important event occurred in Armenia. It became known that the Armenian Catholicos Garegin II met with the leadership of Russia and representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church to seek support against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. This was reported by the Haqqin.az website. The Catholicos held special negotiations in Kiriyenko's office through his brother Ezra and personally addressed Patriarch Kirill.

This situation may affect not only domestic politics but also relations with Russia. The public and international experts are closely monitoring this event. The Catholicos's appeal to the Kremlin, Pashinyan's position, and the activation of Russian media may herald a new political phase in the country.

The development of this new situation has become an important and interesting issue for all observers.
