Armenia votes in tense election over West or Russia direction | World News Tonight

Our main stories:

- Armenians voted in a high-stakes parliamentary election on Sunday, seen as a test of pro-Western Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s political direction. His ruling Civil Contract party is the favorite according to pre-election polls, while the pro-Russian Strong Armenia party trails in second place.

- Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has broken his silence as anti-corruption protests over a proposed €1.4 billion luxury resort draw growing international attention. Backed by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, construction for the project is planned partly inside a protected wildlife reserve, fueling environmental anger and a corruption probe. Rama, however, insists the development could help turn Albania into a major Mediterranean tourist destination.

- More than 1.2 million people filled Madrid as Pope Leo XIV delivered mass during his first European trip outside Italy. With the visit focused on migrants and the homeless, the Pope urged leaders to reject polarization and defend unity, even as Washington’s criticism of Europe’s migration policies sharpened transatlantic tensions.
