Intensification of neo-Bolshevik campaign against diaspora, pan-Armenian institutions

**Armenian Weekly Publishes Editorial Alleging Government Targeting of Diaspora Institutions**

*Yerevan, August 27, 2026* – The online news outlet *The Armenian Weekly* released an editorial titled “Intensification of neo‑Bolshevik campaign against diaspora, pan‑Armenian institutions.” The piece asserts that the ruling Civil Contract party, which holds a parliamentary majority in the Republic of Armenia, is acting in breach of the Armenian Constitution and national laws.

According to the editorial, the party’s actions are purported to “target national values, deepen internal divisions within the nation, and intensify its anti‑national policies,” which the author claims “objectively serve the agendas of hostile states.” The article references the party’s election platform but does not provide specific excerpts or detailed evidence to substantiate the allegations.

The editorial characterizes the current political climate as a “neo‑Bolshevik campaign” directed against Armenian diaspora and pan‑Armenian institutions, suggesting that the government’s policies are intended to undermine these communities. No response from the Civil Contract party or official government representatives was included in the publication.
