ArmInfo. Breavis has accused EuroNews of spreading false information regarding the upcoming Armenian elections.
"We would like to inform you that the poll results published by EuroNews on May 31, 2026, and reproduced by several Armenian media outlets, which attribute the date to Breavis, do not reflect the actual results of the poll conducted by our company," stated a company announcement received by ArmInfo. It is emphasized that the official results of the survey, which was conducted May 5-11 at the request of the International Republican Institute (IRI), were publicly released on May 22, 2026. The authentic data is exclusively accessible via the following link: //www.iri.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ARM-26-NS-02-PT-FINAL_PUBLIC.pdf
"We would also like to note that Breavis was solely responsible for conducting the field research. All matters regarding the research methodology and data analysis fall strictly within the competence of the commissioning organization," the company added.
It's interesting to note that on May 31, EuroNews widely circulated an article claiming that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's ruling Civil Contract party is poised to secure a significant parliamentary majority. The article asserts that the latest poll, conducted ahead of the decisive June 7 elections in Armenia, shows Pashinyan's party could capture nearly 65% of the decided vote, promising a convincing victory and a substantial majority in the next parliament. Furthermore, citing Breavis, the publication claims that Pashinyan's party will secure a comfortable lead over a "fragmented opposition"—some of which are openly supported by Russia—with no opposition party surpassing the 12% threshold. The report goes on to suggest that if next Sunday's vote confirms these projections, the Armenian electorate will hand Pashinyan a decisive mandate to solidify the South Caucasus nation's strategic pivot toward a pro-European and pro- Western course.
Notably, independent polls indicate that Pashinyan's support among respondents does not exceed 30%. Furthermore, according to these same independent polls, the opposition forces projected to enter parliament will secure enough votes to form a coalition government. This indicates that the European publication's material is not merely biased, but intentionally aimed at misleading citizens. It is worth noting that even the official IRI poll states that only 32% of respondents are ready to vote for Pashinyan's party; there was never any mention of 65% in that survey.
