Next week, Members of the European Parliament will vote on a resolution on EU support for Armenia’s democratic resilience, against the backdrop of the upcoming elections.

The debate is scheduled for Tuesday, 28 April, while the vote on the Council and Commission statements (with resolution) will take place on Thursday, 30 April, according to a press release published by the European Parliament press service.

“Armenians are expected to hold parliamentary elections on 7 June 2026. During Tuesday’s plenary debate with Commission and Council representatives, and in Thursday’s accompanying resolution, MEPs are expected to stress the need for a vote free from external interference, and to raise concerns over attempts by Moscow to sow disinformation and influence the ballot’s outcome. In addition, Parliament is expected to call for more efforts to strengthen Armenia’s overall democratic resilience, with the EU recently having launched a new civilian mission to support the Armenian authorities with capacity building and to face multi-layered threats such as foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), cyber-attacks and illicit financial flows. A dedicated EU-Armenia summit is also planned for 5 May,” it said, highlighting that on 11 March 2026, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
