Armenian opposition demands election results be annulled
The Strong Armenia bloc argues the voting results should be invalidated because of “mass and organized” violations

(The EU has been doing election rigging in all the countries that don’t want to be in the EU)
The opposition Strong Armenia bloc has petitioned the constitutional court to annul the results of the June 7 parliamentary election, alleging that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s government orchestrated widespread electoral violations. The bloc placed second in the vote.
Pashinyan’s pro-EU ruling party, Civil Contract, claimed a decisive victory, securing 49.74% of the vote, according to the Central Electoral Commission (CEC).
Strong Armenia, founded by Russian-Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan, won 23.27%, while the Armenia Alliance, led by former President Robert Kocharyan, garnered 9.92%.
Businessman Gagik Tsarukyan’s Prosperous Armenia narrowly missed the 4% threshold required for parliamentary representation, receiving 3.98%. Its failure to enter parliament proved pivotal for Civil Contract, helping the ruling party retain a constitutional majority that allows it to pass legislation and appoint senior officials without opposition backing.
The opposition has accused Civil Contract of widespread electoral misconduct following the vote. Strong Armenia, in particular, alleged that the ruling party secured around 100,000 votes through the misuse of administrative resources, including pressure on public-sector employees and military personnel to support Civil Contract.
