On June 11 and 12, the Central Electoral Commission invalidated the results of the voting in 3 polling stations: No. 10/51, 35/65, 12/13, as a result of which PAP lost 213 votes.

Yesterday, on June 14, at the session of the CEC, the complaint presented by the opposition was examined, during which CEC Chairman Vahagn Hovakimyan announced, that the decision to invalidate the results of voting in 3 polling stations does not affect the results of the elections.

By the end of the day, it became known that the PAP did not overcome the threshold of passing the NA, the CP, “Strong Armenia” and “Armenia” alliance will pass the NA.

AIM leader Paruyr Hayrikyan according to him, if after what happened to the PAP, someone will not criticize the elections held on June 7 and refuse its results, they must admit that they are on the side of Nikol.

“What happened to the PAP can be considered a gift of providence and on that basis, a final juridical and political evaluation can be given to the “elections” held on June 7.

What happened with the PAP does not concern only that political force, just this one episode is enough for everyone to stand up and say calmly and with dignity that what happened was not an election, good luck to you.

I don’t give any advice myself, but I give a general assessment, what I have to say is what I said from the very beginning: as long as this government is at the helm, there cannot be fair elections under its rule.”– 168.amParuyr Hayrikyan said in a conversation with

According to our interlocutor, violating the constitutional law on parties is the same as violating the same Electoral Code.

“Everyone looks at all this calmly, because it didn’t happen to them, but I can’t look at it calmly myself. I think that with what happened with the PAP, we received a gift to calmly announce that the results of these elections are unacceptable,” added Paruyr Hayrikyan.

When asked what the collective opposition should do, Paruyr Hayrikyan answered that he personally knows what he can do, but he will not allow himself to advise others, but one thing is clear.

“In short, we are in a shameful situation. Everything comes from the fact that we looked down on the authorities who came to the arena with the statement “Reject Serzh” but stuck to Serzh Sargsyan’s Constitution.

Back in 2018, these authorities announced that it is not possible to have fair elections with this Electoral Code and Constitution. “The Italians shot Mossolini for such an Electoral Code and Constitution, and we live with this,” stressed P. Hayrikyan.

As for changing the Constitution and the question: the political force led by Nikol Pashinyan in the National Assembly will not be able to change the Constitution, what possible steps can it take?

“I have already announced that in order to get out of this situation, one should choose the shortest and most effective way, the public should take the issue of constitutional amendments into their own hands and follow this path. We have presented the project of these changes, which makes the RA citizen the master of his destiny, thus Armenia will become the most democratic country. At this moment, when all hopes are crushed, everyone should come back and focus on this idea. I do not have any ambitions myself, I am sending an open invitation to everyone to start a constitutional movement to radically change the marriage,” emphasized Paruyr Hayrikyan.

Let’s remind that according to the preliminary results of the nationwide elections on June 7, the “Prosperous Armenia” party received 4% of votes and was going to enter the parliament. However, the Central Electoral Commission invalidated the voting results of 3 polling stations, after which the PAP lost 213 votes and was excluded from the National Assembly. After that, the opposition held a protest in front of the CEC building, demanding re-voting or new elections.
