Freedom House reports decline in Armenia's democratic governance rating
The Washington-based non-profit organization Freedom House found that democracy in Armenia regressed in 2023.
"National Democratic Governance rating declined from 2.50 to 2.25 due to the executive’s consolidation of power, the multiyear trend of central authorities overreaching and impeaching opposition mayors, and the lack of transparency in ruling party finances," Freedom House said in its report Nations in Transit 2024.
"As a result, Armenia’s Democracy Score declined from 3.11 to 3.07," it added.
