The political rating of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is 13%, according to the results of a survey conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI) from June 16 to 25. Pashinyan’s rating has decreased by another three points compared to the previous survey, where 16% of Armenians expressed trust in him for the year 2024.
