Armenia is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections on 7 June.

Armenia is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections on 7 June.

Relations between Russia and Armenia are currently undergoing another round of escalating tensions.

Yerevan has threatened to leave Moscow-led economic and security blocs in response to economic pressures if they occur.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned Armenia of ‘potential negative consequences’ of what they called a ‘forced rapprochement with Brussels’.

Armenia and Pakistan established diplomatic relations on 31 August.

This latest absence comes amidst a streak of sessions Pashinyan has not attended at international organisations associated with Russia.

In March, the Armenian Parliament passed a bill that calls on the government to seek EU integration.
