Hockey Night in Canada on CBC is the eighth longest running TV show in THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD at 72 seasons.

Add in radio, and it's been a Saturday night fixture for families on CBC for 90 years.

There has never been a Canadian cultural institution like it, and there never will be again.

The statement from the international observers is up. They have repeated that oppositionals were intimidated. Russian interference was also a topic coming up.

Now Georgia's Prime Minister has done the same. There are still no official results for Armenia's election though.

[Raffy Boudjikanian @CBCRaffy]

The official account of neighbouring Georgia's president is congratulating incumbent Nikol Pashinyan for his election victory in Armenia, but no official results have been released yet.

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

Armenia's election tomorrow has taken on immense geopolitical implications. Russia has tried its hardest to shift the results, but what can it achieve?

On my way to Armenia. Wished I could have arrived before. Wished that I could stay longer. But I'll have four full working days, from morning until late evening.

If you have interesting tips, then write to me.

Here's a translated version of the Q&A for Swedish media. If you feel like you want to learn more about the Armenian elections, this is a good introduction. The target group of the text is not hardcore Armenian X political commentators.
