Ruling Party Wins Armenia Election by Large Margin

Armenia's ruling party won the parliamentary election by a wide margin, according to results reported on election night. The party, which supports closer ties with the European Union, received enough votes to form a government without coalition partners.

Russian officials stated that Western countries had interfered in the vote. The statement did not provide specific evidence of interference.

Voter turnout and final seat counts were not immediately released by election authorities. No reports of widespread violence or disruptions at polling stations were noted in initial coverage.
