Armenia’s pro-European Civil Contract party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, won the June 7 elections by a large margin. The pro-Russian opposition is challenging the results, aiming to at least stop the Civil Contract from getting a super-majority in Parliament.
Armenians go to polls on Sunday for a high stakes elections that may decide whether the country will continue the pro-European path set by the current government, or it will once again tighten relations with its traditional ally, Russia. The run up to the elections was marked by a clash of opposing narratives, disinformation, and personal attacks.
