Armenian Opposition Demands Vote Recount After Parliamentary Elections

Armenia's opposition party Strong Armenia has demanded a recount of votes following recent parliamentary elections in which the party finished in second place. The party, which advocates for closer ties with Russia, has challenged the election results amid what appears to be a disputed outcome. The call for a recount reflects ongoing political tensions in Armenia, a former Soviet republic that has been navigating between Russian and Western influences while dealing with internal political divisions over foreign policy direction.
