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.
YEREVAN (Azatutyun.am) Law-enforcement authorities have arrested the heads of two more communities of Armenia’s southeastern Syunik province in a continuing crackdown on local leaders and supporters of the main opposition Hayastan alliance.
One of them, Mkhitar Zakaryan, was taken into custody early on Monday three days after resigning as mayor of the towns of Meghri and Agarak and several nearby villages making up a single administrative unit.
The Investigative Committee said afterwards that he has been formally charged with abuse of power and fraud. Zakaryan rejected the accusations through his lawyer, Yerem Sargsyan.
Sargsyan said Zakaryan was manhandled by masked and heavily armed police officers shortly after arriving, together with him, at a police department in Yerevan. He said Zakaryan was toppled to the ground, filmed and dragged away by the officers despite not putting up any resistance.
