Armenians decided to turn the page on their tumultuous political past and give incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan a strong mandate for a balanced, pro-West future, in what Pashinyan said was a "historic victory that will ensure Armenia's eternity and development" in his address following the vote.
Pashinyan pledged to "continue the course of rapprochement with the West" while also developing Armenia's relations with Russia, reaffirmed Yerevan’s commitment to peace and regional cooperation and said that strengthening the peace process with Azerbaijan and normalising relations with Turkey will continue to be key priorities for his government.
