Armenians are voting in a critical parliamentary election that will determine the country's future geopolitical alignment, specifically whether to continue integrating with the EU or maintain its traditional ties with Russia.
This parliamentary election in Armenia acts as a referendum on the country's future course under Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, whose administration has been seeking closer ties with the European Union. Pashinyan faces significant competition from political forces advocating for a pro-Russian stance, raising anxieties about potential Russian repercussions. Reporter Norbert Hahn details how external pressure, including trade restrictions and energy dependency, are being used by Russia to influence voters, while political candidates leverage nationalist sentiment regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to sway public opinion. The outcome of this vote is expected to be extremely close, necessitating potential coalition building for any government to form.
