a certain degree that will be political legitimacy for the winner. and 5 years of stability on paper, at least in which they can get to work. there's a long list of parties and alliances running to $26.00 contesting this election. but essentially it boils down to more or less to horse race. that's the incumbent, nicole fashion. and against the former presidents, rubica, cherry, and now these men have big differences. you have essentially a reformer tanti corruption, who has lost the war and lost much of his lost running against the former president's who is tainted by many of the corruption scandals of the past. and has more of an authoritarian benz i think for many people, particularly those who lost a loved one in the recent war. politics is a whole, has lost, is lost. and there are people that we've been speaking to here who have

direction to armenia goes. and since passion yan came to power, he's dropped most of that anti russian talk. and the outcome of the war left moscow in a pretty strong position in this region. it has peacekeepers on the grounds, in the going to carry back and around it. and i think both these candidates and now realizing product cherry never doubted it. that's moscow is an important factor in armenia. is she a political life? and he can't really walk away from it. l 0 is where he challenge reporting live that from you out of rory. many thanks. supporters of iran, the new president of celebrated his victory on the streets to ron hotline at abraham bracy was declared the winner on saturday. in an election marked by voter apathy, at economic hardships, he went around 62 percent support just on the half of eligible voters to pass the low turn out on the schools. the challenges ahead where the former chief justice

to the dismay of middle eastern countries and, and it gives them more money to be militarily adventurous and to disrupt the piece and in several countries. so i think that again, mr. bi needs to consider america's foundational values. in negotiations with president easy and i know that some other countries are involved, or i believe some of the countries are involved in trying to set the stage for the u. s. re entry with around over the jcp away. but it's, it's a, it's gotta be a complicated, very complicated situation right now. supporters of both of peruse, political rivals have been out in huge numbers, as tension rises over this month, selection socialist contender federal castillo to narrowly lead the official count as victory. but right when candidate keiko for jewelry says that there's been fraud
