With just days left before historic elections on Sunday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is walking a tightrope, balancing his pro-West push with efforts to avoid an escalating clash with Russia amid Moscow’s increasing pressure on Armenians ahead of the decisive vote.
As the latest polls showed Pashinyan on course for victory on Sunday, he responded to the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) 's call for an Armenian referendum on the country's pro-Western, EU-aligned path, saying on Monday that the moment for such a choice has not yet arrived.
