๊ธ์ ์ Armeniaโs pro-Russian opposition may now hold the key toย Pashinyanโs peace deal with Baku
He won โ with a caveat. Pashinyanโs Civil Contract party took 49.8% of the vote, enough to secure a parliamentary majority and form a government without coalition partners, but short of the supermajority needed to call a referendum on constitutional amendments. Pashinyan needs that referendum to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan: Baku is demanding that Yerevan strip its Constitution of all references to reunification with Nagorno-Karabakh. At 65% or above, Civil Contract could have called the vote unilaterally. Instead, the party will have to court allies among Armeniaโs pro-Russian opposition that has no interest in holding such a vote.
