Armenians are voting in parliamentary elections that could shape PM Nikol Pashinyan’s future and Armenia’s ties with Russia and the EU Read Full Article at RT.com
Sunday's vote serves as a referendum on peace with Azerbaijan and on closer ties with the European Union and the US at the expense of Russia. This geopolitical shift is spearheaded by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, in office since 2018 and leading in the polls. Armenians are set to vote on the country's future geopolitical direction on June 7.
The election will be a test of public opinion in the long-standing Russia ally, where the population is increasingly eyeing the EU. Armenia votes Sunday in parliamentary elections that will see the party of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who seeks to lessen dependence on Moscow, facing off against that of billionaire Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan.
Le Monde English reported the story as "Armenians vote in pivotal legislative elections for their country's future, regional peace." South China Morning Post reported the story as "EU and Russia clash as Armenians head to the polls, Putin fumes."
