Four opposition groups that participated in Armenia’s recent parliamentary elections appealed to the Constitutional Court on Friday to cancel their official results that gave victory to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian’s party.
The separate appeals were lodged by the alliances led by former Presidents Robert Kocharian and Serzh Sarkisian and two smaller groups that failed to win any seats in the Armenian parliament. They claimed to have submitted evidence of irregularities which seriously affected the outcome of the June 20 elections.
A spokesman for Kocharian’s Hayastan bloc, Aram Vardevanian, again accused Pashinian of abusing his government levers, bullying opposition activists and resorting to “hate speech” during the election campaign and forcing military and security personnel to vote for the ruling Civil Contract party.
