The vote of no confidence occured already after the war, if I am not mistaken. Or, rather, he resigned to enable new elections and confirm his legitimacy after the military disaster. The bet paid off, mostly because the other main candidate was a Russian-backed ex-president who is almost universally hated for the corruption during his tenure.

I do find that Pashinyan's drift towards France and the U.S. was quite pronounced, by the way.
