FM predicts high turnout, says majority will vote for peace

Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, a senior member of the Civil Contract party led by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, cast his ballot on Sunday in the parliamentary elections at polling station 6/52 in Yerevan.

He told reporters afterward that he voted for “Armenia’s peace and development.”

Asked about his expectations for the elections, Mirzoyan said he was confident voter turnout would be very high.

“This is the impression I gained during the election campaign. People are very interested in the elections and understand that the future of our country depends on each and every vote. I have seen this awareness widely among our public, which is why I believe turnout will be very high.

I can also say that our people are very wise and fully understand all the nuances and challenges. I believe that in these elections, the overwhelming majority of citizens of the Republic of Armenia will vote in favor of peace. In this regard, the Armenian people will once again show the entire world that they are committed to peace,” the minister said.
