Pashinyan Wins Big as Armenia Sets Course for Peace With Azerbaijan
TL;DR
Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared victory after a general election, with preliminary results showing his party capturing 61 seats (about 58% of mandates), enough to form a government without a coalition but not a constitutional majority. Pashinyan signaled plans to embed a peace deal with Azerbaijan into law as EU leaders congratulated him, while Russia offered cautious comments; turnout corrections were noted in an updated report.
