Mirzoyan: We remain strongly committed to the highest standards of  democracy

ArmInfo.Ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections, Armenia faces the escalating waves of challenges that  testing the resilience of democracy from within and  without, as  stated by  Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan  when speaking at the 32nd OSCE Ministerial Council.

As the Armenian Foreign Minister pointed out, democracies today  confront a rapidly evolving set of challenges that test their  resilience from within and without. Hybrid threats, including  disinformation, cyberattacks, foreign interference and manipulation,  and the instrumentalization of vulnerabilities, aim not only to  weaken state institutions, but also to undermine the democratic way  of life, eroding public trust and polarising societies.

 "As Armenia prepares for parliamentary elections next year, we face  the escalating waves of such challenges. Nevertheless, it goes  without saying that we remain strongly committed to ensuring that the  electoral process meets the highest democratic standards, according  to our beliefs and the expectations of our citizens and in line with  our OSCE commitments," Ararat Mirzoyan concluded.
