Since 2018, Armenia has been increasingly orienting itself toward the West. This course will continue after the parliamentary election, as Tagesschau reports. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s party emerged as the strongest force.

Despite the pro-Western trend, Armenia remains economically and security-politically dependent on Russia. The election is seen as a test for the country’s democratic development.
