- Nikol Pashinyan won re‑election as Armenia’s prime minister, securing a second term.
- Armenia’s election was reported as a victory for the pro‑Western government, signaling a continued Westward tilt.
- Russia’s influence was challenged, with the pro‑West administration winning despite Moscow’s pressure.
