President of the European Council Charles Michel has sent "warm congratulations" to caretaker Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his party's victory in snap elections to the parliament.

"The EU stands by Armenia in support of deepening reforms. We are also ready to further support regional stabilization and comprehensive conflict settlement," Michel said in a tweet.

Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party won 53.92% of the vote, while Hayastan (Armenia) bloc headed by second President Robert Kocharyan secured 21.4% of the ballots. "I Have Honor" bloc too will get seats in the parliament.
