Armenia 3rd president: We clearly see European institutions’ open support for today’s rulers

Whether they declare it or not, we clearly see the open support of European institutions for today’s rulers. Armenia’s third president, Serzh Sargsyan, told this to reporters Friday.

“I do not think that the events that happened in one country can be exactly repeated in another country. I don’t know with details what happened in Moldova, so I can say whether the Moldovan scenario will be repeated here or not,” Sargsyan said in response to a question about whether it is possible for a Moldovan-style scenario to occur in Armenia, which is why the European Union (EU) is supporting Armenia.

Serzh Sargsyan did not rule out that some political parties might be banned in Armenia.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas had stated that Armenia requested assistance from the EU ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections scheduled for June 2026.
