On September 28, during the plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) autumn session in Strasbourg, Edward Leigh—a UK delegate and spokesperson for the Conservative Group—addressed the Armenian government's actions against the Armenian Apostolic Church, characterizing them as a "calculated attack on religious autonomy."
The British MP emphasized that the current administration, led by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, has launched an unprecedented campaign against the Church's freedoms; therefore, PACE must uphold religious freedom and urge the Armenian government to cease the pressure and the unlawful arrests of clergy members.
