Armenia is gearing up for parliamentary elections on June 6, 2026, with incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan seeking a third term. His administration has aimed to strengthen ties with the European Union and the United States.
However, Pashinyan's popularity appears to be waning domestically, raising questions about his ability to maintain support amid external pressures, particularly from Russia.
The outcome of this election is expected to have substantial geopolitical implications, as it could influence Armenia's future relations with both Western powers and its traditional ally, Russia.
