A game-changing event is unfolding. Instead of waiting for the book version, let me take you… up closer!

#Armenia’s election may have been decided by the Electoral Commission, not the voters. 🇦🇲 #ProsperousArmenia gained enough votes to enter parliament, but the annulment of three polling stations kept it below the threshold and preserved #Pashinyan’s 3/5 majority.

#Pashinyan won, but emerged weaker. 🇦🇲 With 64 of 105 seats, he keeps a majority and the 3/5 threshold for reforms—but falls short of the 2/3 supermajority needed for a constitutional referendum, a key demand from #Azerbaijan…

Election Day in #Armenia. 🇦🇲 Nearly 2.5 million voters choose among 19 options, but the vote is really about PM #Pashinyan. Backed—or tolerated—by rivals and partners alike, his re-election raises one question: what exactly is Armenia voting for?

Closing rally of Armenian PM Nikol #Pashinyan. 🇦🇲 Favored in every major poll, he still campaigns like an opposition leader—attacking his own challengers despite eight years in power.

Marco #Rubio in #Armenia. 🇺🇸🇦🇲 Talks focused on rare earths and the “#Trump route” corridor through Armenia. Officially economics and peace—practically, a clear signal ahead of Armenia’s elections on June 7

#Orbán era ends as new Hungarian Parliament takes office. 🇭🇺 Péter #Magyar becomes PM, restores #EU flag, lifts #Ukraine emergency, and vows reforms, accountability, and limits on future power concentration.

Péter #Magyar’s first press conference: rule of law, #EU funds, term limits, EPPO entry. 🇭🇺 Keeps veto on #Ukraine loan, tough on migration, pragmatic on energy. A strong mandate—but big responsibility.

#Orbán defeated after 16 years. 🇭🇺 #PéterMagyar wins a supermajority, inheriting the system he once served. He vows #EU alignment, asset recovery, and accountability. A historic shift—but can the system truly change?

#Orbán vs #Magyar: #Hungary’s reckoning. 🇭🇺 After 16 years, Orbán trails in polls. High turnout and key swing districts could reshape power—and impact the #EU.

Marco #Rubio in #Budapest signs a $20B nuclear deal with #Orbán. 🇺🇸🇭🇺 Energy on paper, politics in practice—boosting ties with #Washington while #Russia’s role in #Hungary’s energy mix remains intact.

$9B #US-#Armenia nuclear deal sealed in #Yerevan during #JDVance’s visit. 🇺🇸🇦🇲 Plus V-BAT #drones, #NVIDIA chips—and a clear boost for #Pashinyan before elections. But will it bring real security?

#US Vice President #JDVance visits #Armenia and #Azerbaijan 🇺🇸🇦🇲🇦🇿 More than peace, it’s about a corridor to link mainland Azerbaijan to its exclave of #Nakhchivan reshaping the map—and Armenia’s sovereignty.
