Germany Warns of Russian Meddling in Armenia Vote

Germany's leader, Friedrich Merz, said Russia might try to interfere in Armenia's next big vote.

He thinks Russia wants to stop Armenia from becoming friends with the European Union.

Merz said Russia is trying to scare voters and spread false information.

Armenia's leader, Nikol Pashinyan, agreed that they have seen this kind of problem before.

Armenia recently started wanting to join the EU, which has made Russia unhappy.

Germany wants Armenia to join the EU but said it has to meet certain rules.
