Freedom House: National Democratic Governance rating drops in Armenia

The Freedom House international human rights organization has issued its Nations in Transit 2024 annual report, in which it noted a decline in the National Democratic Governance rating in Armenia.

“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. As a result, Armenia’s Democracy Score declined from 3.11 to 3.07,” the aforesaid report states.
