Armenia's PM secures win in election 'with highest turnout in a decade'

Article excerpt

Armenia's ruling party secured victory in legislative elections marked by the highest voter turnout in a decade, solidifying the nation's westward pivot despite Russian interference and threats. The election, held under heavy international scrutiny, takes place as the EU pledges millions in aid to counter pressure from Russian sanctions. The result reflects Armenia's ongoing geopolitical realignment away from Moscow's sphere of influence, though election integrity concerns persist.
