The Armenian National Congress issued a statement regarding the violation of electoral rights and attempts to involve state bodies in unconstitutional actions.
“2026 on June 6, leading members of the “Civil Contract” party, Vahagn Aleksanyan, Arsen Torosyan, as well as the head of the “Independent Observer” observation mission, Daniel Ioanisyan, made video messages. In them, there are clear threats to initiate fabricated criminal cases against our fellow citizens returning to the Republic of Armenia and intending to participate in the elections.
Moreover, the said persons give explicit instructions and instructions to the law enforcement authorities to arrest the arriving citizens and “find out” the purposes of their return.
This way of working is nothing but an open attempt to involve the state and law enforcement agencies in activities aimed at subverting the constitutional order by abusing their official position and party affiliation. This is a call for political persecution against compatriots and a gross interference with the electoral right of RA citizens guaranteed by the Constitution.
We find that, if the law enforcement agencies really have a reason to study and make a criminal assessment, then it is precisely the illegal statements and actions of the above-mentioned persons. The state system cannot serve as a tool to hinder the expression of the will of the people. And if there are violations of the law, then they should be revealed according to the law, and not become an occasion for propaganda prohibited by the law.”
