The Armenian government has revoked the operating permit of the nation’s largest casino as a political spat between the ruling party and opposition factions deepens.

Armenia’s Ministry of Economy revoked the Shangri La Casino license this week, citing irregularities found during a March 2026 on-site inspection. The ministry highlighted financial discrepancies and other issues, leading to the closure of the casino. The decision comes amid escalating tensions between the government and opposition groups in Armenia.
