Armenia votes on Sunday in a parliamentary election seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's drive to loosen his country's historical dependence on Russia and turn towards the West.
Pashinyan, who was propelled to power in a 2018 street revolution, is running under the slogan of "peace" – pointing to the prospect of finally resolving Armenia's more than three-decade conflict with Azerbaijan and normalising relations with Turkey.
