Armenia 2017: An introduction to the party-political landscape

EuFoA publishes new guide Armenia 2017: An introduction to the party-political landscape

For five years, the first version of this guide was used extensively by EU officials, election observers, international academics and journalists. Several of these asked us to prepare a new version for the upcoming elections, reflecting all the recent changes. Answering that demand, we are now providing a brief summary for each Armenian political force running in the elections of 2 April, including the new formations, providing:

• key background on the party’s (or bloc’s) history, composition and leaders
• party program, with a focus on economic policy and foreign policy
• a special view on EU policies and affiliations

The guide also offers a short and understandable introduction to the new Armenian electoral code, which in itself is quite complex but also an exciting change over the past semi-proportional system.
