In this episode of the CivilNet podcast, political commentator Eric Hacopian breaks down the escalating war of words between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the Armenian Apostolic Church. While Hacopian acknowledges there are legitimate political critiques to be made of the church, he argues that Pashinyan’s deeply personal attacks, which rely on salacious and unverified gossip, cross a line. Hacopian frames the controversy as part of a broader trend: the global coarsening of political discourse driven by populism and the unfiltered nature of social media.
