Japanese Authorities Capture Black Bear After Multiple Sightings

On Sunday, Armenian voters chose to keep Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract Party in power, with the party earning 49.8% of the vote in a contest seen as a test of Armenia’s pivot toward the West. The result comes after Russia’s intensified pressure on opposition parties, including a ban on Armenian exports and accusations of foreign interference. While the election was hailed by France and EU leaders, Russia’s foreign ministry warned that Armenians were becoming “extremely polarised” and that the country’s politics were under unprecedented pressure. Inside the capital, turnout was 59%, and many ordinary citizens expressed cautious optimism about the future, though the peace deal with Azerbaijan remains a divisive issue.
