Armenia's parliamentary election a vote on nation's 'geopolitical future'

"This is really a vote on the geopolitical future of Armenia and its ties with Russia," FRANCE 24's Philip Turle said in an analysis. He pointed to Armenia's shift away from Russia, a trend that dates back to its defeat by Azerbaijan and was accelerated by the war in Ukraine, which has diverted Russia's attention elsewhere.
