Armenians are heading to the polls in a parliamentary election seen as a test of the government's efforts to forge a peace deal after a crushing military defeat by Azerbaijan three years ago.
Polls show Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's ruling Civil Contract party leading, backed by up to 32 per cent of voters, with the pro-Russian Strong Armenia party in second place with up to 11 per cent.
Pashinyan has moved Armenia closer to the West since coming to power in 2018, and away from traditional patron Russia, which has provoked Moscow's ire in the lead-up to the vote.
