AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoArmenia Election Fallout: Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract won 49.81% in Sunday’s parliamentary vote, securing a majority and setting up him to form the government; the Central Election Commission says four forces enter the new National Assembly: Civil Contract (61 seats), Strong Armenia (28), Armenia (11), and Prosperous Armenia (5) after it narrowly cleared the 4% threshold. Foreign Pressure & Diplomacy: The result is being framed as a referendum on Armenia’s Westward pivot under Russian pressure; EU leaders including Ursula von der Leyen and France’s Emmanuel Macron congratulated Pashinyan, while Russia’s MFA spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Yerevan of grossly violating democratic procedures. After the Count: Pashinyan vowed opposition leaders will face criminal responsibility, calling them a “three-headed party of war,” as turnout neared 59% and final checks and possible recount requests run through June 9. Economy Watch: Central Bank chief Martin Galstyan said 2025 GDP growth accelerated to 7.2% and tax revenues rose, alongside budget execution figures discussed in parliament.
