The Constitutional Court of Armenia upheld the results of the parliamentary elections.
The Constitutional Court of Armenia rejected the appeals of seven political forces challenging the results of the parliamentary elections on June 7 and upheld the decision of the Central Election Commission regarding the voting results.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", seven parties appealed to the Constitutional Court regarding the final decision of the Central Election Commission on the parliamentary elections. The court went into deliberation, and the decision is to be announced no later than July 4. The applicants presented all grounds for reviewing the election results, but the authorities raised the salaries of the Constitutional Court judges before the elections, which could be related to possible lawsuits challenging the results, the opposition indicated.
The party "Prosperous Armenia" of oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan, the bloc "Armenia" of former president Robert Kocharyan, and the bloc "Strong Armenia" of entrepreneur Samvel Karapetyan are among the parties that challenged the results of the parliamentary elections in the Constitutional Court of Armenia. They are also the most pro-Russian participants in the parliamentary elections, analysts noted earlier.

The case was considered for six days and took about 50 hours of court hearings, writes Armenia Today.
Recall that the appeals to the Constitutional Court were submitted by the blocs "Strong Armenia" and "Armenia", the parties "Wings of Unity", "Democracy, Law and Discipline", "Prosperous Armenia", and "New Force", as well as the bloc "Alliance of Defenders of Democracy for the Republic". They challenge the CEC decision of June 14 on the results of the elections to the National Assembly, according to which the party "Civil Contract" received 61 mandates in parliament, the bloc "Strong Armenia" - 28 mandates, and the bloc "Armenia" - 12 mandates. Taking into account the mandates of national minorities, "Civil Contract" has 64 mandates, and the Karapetyan bloc has 29. "Prosperous Armenia" was unable to overcome the four percent barrier and enter parliament according to the CEC decision.
The parliamentary elections effectively became a referendum on the future of the current government and Armenia's foreign policy course. A reference titled "2026 Elections to the National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia" has been published on "Caucasian Knot".
