Eric HacopianCivilNet political commentator Eric Hacopian examines the results of Armenia's 2026 parliamentary election, where Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's Civil Contract party retained power but underperformed expectations. The discussion examines why voter turnout reached its highest level in years, how opposition forces outperformed forecasts, and whether Pashinyan's conduct during the campaign mobilized voters against him. We also look at election-day irregularities, Pashinyan's late-night victory speech, and what the results reveal about Armenia's political future.
