The Zartonk (Awakening) National Christian Party is also challenging the results of the June 20 snap parliamentary elections in the Constitutional Court of Armenia.

The top court received the party’s election appeal on Friday, its spokeswoman Eva Tovmasyan said on Facebook.

In an official statement, the party indicated the basic principles of suffrage enshrined in the Constitution of Armenia, freedom and equality, have been violated during the elections.

It said the hateful and violent rhetoric, the misuse of administrative resources, as well as other violations affected the outcome of the elections.

The Constitutional Court earlier received an appeal of the Armenia bloc asking the court to overturn the election results.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
