France’s election watchdog unit begins filtering Armenia’s internet, report says

A report in The Eastern Herald says France’s election‑watchdog unit is now running filters on Armenia’s internet. The unit is responsible for monitoring elections and related communications. Its new activity involves applying technical filters to online traffic within Armenia. The report does not specify the purpose of the filtering. Armenian officials have not issued a public response to the development. The filtering could impact how users in Armenia access web content. The involvement of a French election body in another country’s internet is unusual. Observers will watch for any effects on upcoming electoral processes.
