Parliament expresses concern about hybrid threats against Armenia, including foreign interference, cyberattacks and disinformation, especially ahead of the 7 June 2026 elections, and warns they could undermine democratic institutions and the electoral process. It calls for strengthening Armenia's long-term democratic resilience, welcomes the EU Partnership Mission in Armenia, and urges member states to resource it adequately. It also calls on the Armenian government to improve institutional capacity, legal safeguards, political finance transparency, and dialogue with civil society, and on international partners to assist Armenia.
