With Armenia’s June 7 parliamentary election fast approaching, political commentator Eric Hacopian joins the CivilNet podcast to assess a race that looks markedly different from previous campaigns. The contest is being shaped by unprecedented levels of spending from frontrunners, while smaller parties compete for visibility through social media. Against the backdrop of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s campaign trail outbursts and an increasingly heated political atmosphere, the discussion turns to whether voters are truly limited to choices between the current leadership and the old political establishment. Hacopian argues that viable alternatives do exist if voters know where to look.
