6 opposition political forces issued a joint statement

June: 14, 2026

6 opposition political forces issued a joint statement and noted that the results of the election cannot be the basis for the formation of a legitimate government that enjoys the trust of the majority of the people.

Regarding the results of parliamentary elections held on June 7 and the political situation in the country

The parliamentary elections held in the Republic of Armenia took place under such conditions that fundamentally question the free, fair and competitive nature of the electoral process.

Our undersigned political forces record that throughout the electoral process, including during the pre-election period and on the voting day, systematic and organized violations took place, which had a significant impact on the free expression of voters, ensuring equal political competition and public trust in electoral institutions, and the current administration allowed obvious manifestations of violation of the principles of electoral law.

Մասնավորապես՝

1. Extensive use of administrative resources and pressures
The intense involvement of state and community officials, as well as the same structures, educational and health institutions, power system resources in political processes has undermined the level playing field. The pressures applied to the employees of the state system, threats of dismissal and legal prosecutions have created an atmosphere of dependence, which is incompatible with the constitutional principle of free elections.

2. Political prosecutions and arrests
The pre-election campaign was accompanied by a wave of political persecution against opposition figures, activists and supporters. The authorities used the practice of unjustified arrests and detentions with the aim of isolating the figures enjoying public trust and disrupting the organizational work with the opposition electorate. Such systemic actions were especially carried out during the pre-election campaign in order to instill an atmosphere of widespread fear.

3. Targeted obstruction of the activities of the opposition headquarters
On the eve of the voting and on the day of the elections itself, on June 7, law enforcement agencies implemented a widespread paralysis of the opposition election headquarters. The searches, the disruption of the normal activities of the headquarters with groundless legal actions and the arrests of the organizers were aimed at neutralizing the control mechanisms of the electoral process.

4. Abuse of information propaganda
Throughout the campaign, public and government-related, even state-owned media resources were used to discredit the opposition, undermine the presumption of innocence, divide the public, and spread hate speech. Suppression of dissent in the information field has violated all constitutional norms of equal competition.

5. Invalid recognition of the results of vote counting and electoral polling stations
Cases of arbitrary editing of voting results in many polling stations and implementation of other illegal instruments in individual polling stations were recorded, which influenced the election results and the ratio of votes of political forces. This was combined with the direct intervention of the head of the administration in the election results before the presentation of the official data on the voting results.

Therefore, we declare.

The official data presented on the elections do not reflect the real will of the people and the exact results of the elections.

In such conditions, the recorded results cannot be the basis for the formation of a legitimate government that enjoys the trust of the majority of the people.

All responsibility for any further escalation of the situation in the country falls entirely on Nikol Pashinyan and his administration.

We will continue to act exclusively within the framework of the Constitution, laws and democratic principles, protecting the citizens’ right to free expression and the fundamental values ​​of statehood and democracy of the Republic of Armenia.

In our future decisions and actions, we will proceed exclusively from these realities.
