Mkrtich Proshyan

Bishop Mkrtich Proshyan was arrested in October 2025 during a government raid on the Aragatsotn province diocese, part of a sustained series of actions against senior clergy of the Armenian Apostolic Church throughout 2025. He was placed in pre-trial detention following his arrest.

His case is part of a broader pattern that Groong has covered in detail: the Pashinyan government’s use of law enforcement and the courts against church figures viewed as sympathetic to the political opposition, amid a wider effort to reduce the institutional influence of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
