Pro-Europese premier van Armenië stevent af op verkiezingswinst, ondanks Russische druk

Rusland heeft er de afgelopen weken alles aan gedaan een verwachte verkiezingsoverwinning van premier Nikol Pasjinjan te dwarsbomen, onder meer door een boycot van Armeense groenten en fruit, mineraalwater en alcoholische dranken in te stellen.

Armenia is heading towards parliamentary elections with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's pro-European agenda at the forefront. Pashinyan's government is seeking closer ties with the European Union, a move that has drawn strong opposition from Russia. Moscow has implemented trade restrictions, including a ban on Armenian agricultural products and beverages, in an apparent attempt to undermine Pashinyan's expected victory. Despite this pressure, Pashinyan has vowed that Armenia will not yield and has pledged compensation for affected exporters. He has also hinted at a potential withdrawal from the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization, a move stemming from the alliance's inaction during Azerbaijan's recapture of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The election outcome and Armenia's geopolitical alignment are significant as they could reshape regional trade routes and influence the balance of power between Russia and the West in the Caucasus.
