Here is what the page “Armenia’s Election: Pashinyan Seeks Mandate to Pivot Away from Moscow” contains.

Pashinyan's geopolitical shift is motivated by a desire for new security partners and economic opportunities outside of the traditional Russian sphere.

Reporting from Yerevan, Olivia Bizot describes the election as a defining moment for the nation's sovereignty and future alignment. The outcome will determine if Armenia continues its pivot toward the West or returns to a more Moscow-centric foreign policy.
