Armenia announces church reforms and agricultural subsidies

Armenian Apostolic Church reform National Assembly elections agricultural subsidies Nikol Pashinyan Lilit Galstyan

The Armenian government has outlined a comprehensive five-year program that includes significant reforms to the Armenian Apostolic Church. Key objectives include ensuring the removal of the church's de facto head, electing a Catholicos caretaker, and establishing a new charter to improve financial transparency and clerical integrity.

In the agricultural sector, the government announced subsidies of 125 drams per kilogram to support the processing of apricots and plums. This initiative aims to boost the processing industry and increase the competitiveness of local products for both domestic and export markets.

Within the National Assembly, Lilit Galstyan was elected as the chair of the Standing Committee on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs with 54 votes, receiving support from members of the ruling Civil Contract faction. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed judicial concerns, emphasizing the need for constitutional reforms to prevent the legal system from serving elite interests and stating a goal to recover 2 billion in assets by 2031.
