The polls are open in Yerevan, but the real vote counting happened long ago. Sources on the ground confirm that Russian operatives have been flooding the country with disinformation and cash, trying to tip the scales toward Moscow-friendly candidates. Meanwhile, the UK’s Foreign Office has quietly funneled millions into civil society groups promoting a pro-Western agenda.
It’s a proxy war fought with ballots and backroom deals. Uncovered documents show that a British-funded NGO ran get-out-the-vote operations in key districts, while Russian-linked oligarchs bankrolled smear campaigns against reformists. The result is a democracy on life support, with both sides claiming moral victory.
But the people of Armenia deserve more than a choice between two masters. They need a government that serves them, not foreign powers. Expect the official results to be disputed, no matter who claims victory.
This is a story of money, manipulation, and a nation caught in the crossfire.
