Inside Armenian's Snap Elections

Snap Elections were held today in Armenia following 7 months of unrest and a lost war with Azerbaijan. In November of last year, The Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan signed a trilateral agreement with Azerbaijan and Russia which stopped the war in the disputed area of Nagorno-Karabakh(or the Republic of Artsakh as the residents call it) but the terms made it where Armenia had to give most of the control of this region to Azerbaijan. During the turnover of this territory, Armenian's living there fled and burned most of the homes and infrastructure as they left so Azerbaijan could not use them. This deal infuriated many Armenians and a movement(Fed by the opposition) started to demand Pashinyan leave or be removed from office and jailed. As part of the negotiations, Pashinyan agreed to resign so there could be a snap election. In April He stepped down as prime minister as required by law to hold the early vote but has remained in charge as acting prime minister. Today is that election. The Election is said the be a close fight between the Leftist pro-western acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the Pro-Russia Robert Kocharyan(Former Prime minister of both Armenia and The Republic of Artsakh and 3rd president of Armenia) . It should be pointed out that Kocharyan's supporters credit him with securing Armenia's economic growth during his presidency, but his critics accuse him of promoting corruption and the creation of an oligarchic system of government in Armenia. In 2018 Kocharyan was charged in connection with the use of force on 2008 Armenian presidential election protests that resulted in the deaths of ten people. Many people have turned out to vote during these elections to the over 2000 polling stations across Armenia and the prevailing thought is that "The People Will Win" and Armenia will get better.
