Political statements against the Armenian Apostolic Church. While the region around Armenia has diverse religious affiliations, Armenia itself has a predominantly Christian population, with a large percentage adhering to the Armenian Apostolic Church. It is noteworthy that the Armenian Apostolic Church in its entire history has never been a purely religious, or even a predominantly religious structure. In essence, what today’s authorities are implementing as a policy towards the Armenian Apostolic Church is only part of larger geopolitical processes. Policy towards the Armenian church today cannot be based only on abstract and formal legal principles: separation of church and state, “secular state”, etc.
