Yerevan, 8 June 2026. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his ruling Civil Contract Party secured a convincing victory in the 2026 parliamentary elections, reaffirming their position as the country's leading political force and gaining the mandate to form a new government.
These elections were widely regarded as one of the most significant political events in modern Armenian history. They served not only as an assessment of the government's performance but also as a referendum on Armenia’s future direction, including its relationships with Russia, the European Union, the United States, and its efforts to establish lasting peace with neighbouring Azerbaijan and Turkey.
A Historic Victory
Following the announcement of the preliminary results, Prime Minister Pashinyan described the outcome as a “historic victory,” emphasizing that the Armenian people had reaffirmed their support for democratic reforms, stronger institutions, national sovereignty, and a modern vision for the country’s future.
