Armenian PM secures historic win

The ruling Civil Contract Party in Armenia achieved a victory with 49.8% of the vote in the parliamentary elections, which is less than the 54% it secured in 2021. Voter turnout was approximately 59%. The results come amid political and security challenges following the country's military defeat to Azerbaijan in 2023. They also indicate Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's aspirations to strengthen relations with the West, while maintaining ties with Russia. Additionally, three of the largest pro-Russian opposition groups won a combined 37% of the votes, marking a test for the government's future direction.
