The Central Election Commission (CEC) formally registered on Thursday the 107 members of Armenia’s new parliament, among them two arrested opposition figures, which was elected on June 20.
Seventy-one of them represent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian’s Civil Contract party, the official winner of the snap elections. Former President Robert Kocharian’s Hayastan alliance and the Pativ bloc co-headed by former President Serzh Sarkisian and former National Security Service Director Artur Vanetsian will control 29 and 7 parliament seats respectively.
Pashinian congratulated the two opposition forces on entering the National Assembly when he chaired a weekly session of his cabinet earlier in the day. He said he is prepared to work with them in a way that would exclude “hate speech” and insults.
