## Resource

Armenia’s voters headed to the polls in a pivotal election that could reshape the nation’s future, as Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan seeks a mandate to steer the country away from Russia and closer to the West. Facing accusations of vote-buying and a crackdown on opposition figures, Pashinyan’s push for democratic reforms and EU ties clashes with Moscow’s tightening grip—seen in new export bans and energy leverage. With polls predicting victory for Pashinyan’s bloc, the outcome will determine whether Armenia embraces peace and prosperity through Western alliances or remains tethered to its powerful neighbor, setting the stage for a defining chapter in its geopolitical destiny.
