Armenian PM Pashinyan declares victory in elections, signaling shift toward Europe

Updated on
ai generated text

Nikol Pashinyan’s ruling Civil Contract party won the parliamentary election with 49.81 % of the vote, a result he calls a historic victory. The win, which gives him a clear lead over the pro‑Russian Strong Armenia coalition that captured about 25 % of seats, is seen as a test of Armenia’s peace‑process handling and a signal of its intent to diversify ties beyond Moscow. Pashinyan hopes the outcome will strengthen relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan and bolster Europe‑oriented reforms.

    1. The spirit of the Velvet Revolution you led in 2018 is alive and well. We deeply value our partnership with a democratic Armenia that is drawing ever closer to Europe. Armenia can count on us.
    2. We know this playbook all too well. This is why Europe stands firmly with Armenia.
    3. By extending export restrictions on Armenian products, Moscow is weaponizing economic relations for political pressure.

    1. People are choosing the lesser of two evils. The alternatives to Pashinyan are much worse.

    1. Armenians are tired of war. We want to be an open, European country that develops and prospers, where I don't have to worry that my son will be called up to fight.
