With Armenia’s parliamentary election taking place this Sunday, Insights host Eric Hacopian examines recent polls and argues that major discrepancies suggest they may be intended to influence voter behavior rather than accurately measure public opinion. The episode also looks at Armenia’s newly unveiled military hardware from last week’s military parade, including Iranian air defense systems and Chinese long-range drones that had not previously been publicly disclosed. Also covered is the arrest of Artsakh war veteran Artur Osipyan on what critics describe as dubious charges.
