As the June 7 parliamentary elections approach, the political atmosphere in Armenia is becoming increasingly tense and polarized. The country is divided between pro-Western and pro-Russian factions.

Geopolitical rivalry between Russia and the West directly influences Armenian politics. The pro-Western camp advocates for deeper integration with the EU, while the other side emphasizes maintaining ties with Russia.

Domestic competition is also fueled by socio-economic issues and post-war discontent. The elections will determine the country's future geopolitical direction.
