Armenia votes today in its first regular parliamentary election since 2017.

This is effectively a referendum on PM Pashinyan’s pro-Western, pro-peace course with Azerbaijan vs. a return toward Russia’s orbit.

Pashinyan’s Civil Contract is leading polls (~32–36%, possibly higher) against a fragmented opposition led by Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia bloc and Kocharyan’s Armenia Alliance.

Polls close 8 PM local; preliminary results overnight.

Stakes: finalizing the 2025 peace deal with Azerbaijan, constitutional reform, EU/US alignment, and South Caucasus security.

A clear Civil Contract majority locks in the current trajectory; a weak result risks gridlock or reversal.
