We travelled all the way to Armenia during its parliamentary elections 🇦🇲 🌍

Throughout the week, Armenian Progressive Youth introduced us to Armenia’s rich history, politics, and culture. We immersed ourselves in election observation methodology, shared countless conversations, enjoyed incredible Armenian cuisine, and experienced traditional music and dance.

On June 7, together with VU International 🕊🌏 and APY, we deployed 75 local and international observers who travelled across Armenia to observe the parliamentary elections firsthand — a unique opportunity to witness democracy in action.

A week filled with cultural exchange, meaningful dialogue, learning, and new friendships. 🤝
Thank you to everyone who went❤️🇦🇲
