Armenians are all set to head to the polls on Sunday in a decisive election that will shape the future of the South Caucasus country and the entire region, as Russia warned Yerevan of a “Ukraine scenario,” while the EU and the US came together to support Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s cautious pro-West pivot after securing a historic peace agreement with Azerbaijan.
The voters are choosing between Pashinyan and his centrist Civil Contract party, and a fragmented pro-Russian opposition openly supported by the Kremlin.
