Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has congratulated Armenia on holding what he described as democratic and free elections, and praised Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his victory.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by Zelensky on his X account.

"I congratulate Armenia on holding democratic and free elections, and Nikol Pashinyan on his victory. This is also a victory for Armenia’s sovereignty, your independence, and your right to live the way you choose. We wish you success," he said.

He also stated that Ukraine is ready to expand cooperation with Armenia.

"Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation, and now is precisely the time for the European Union to provide real support to Armenia and do everything necessary to ensure that people feel their lives are better thanks to their relationship with Europe. This is a test for the European Union. It is important not to lose time or miss opportunities," he added.

It should be noted that, according to the results of Armenia’s parliamentary elections held on June 7, the Civil Contract Party led by Nikol Pashinyan won the vote with 49.82% of the ballots cast.
