A court in Armenia has sentenced a well-known archbishop to two years in prison after finding him guilty of calling for regime change in what his church has condemned as a politically motivated trial, Armenian site CivilNet reports. Alongside Archbishop Mikael Ajapahyan, who was sentenced on Friday, another noted cleric, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, who led street protests against Pashinyan last year, is also in pre-trial detention facing criminal charges. Ajapahyan was arrested in June over an interview he gave the previous year in which he said there was a need for a coup in Armenia. At the time, the prosecutor's office said the statement did not warrant criminal punishment. In a statement after the verdict last week, the Apostolic Church said the Ajapahyan's conviction was an act of "political vengeance".
