PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Congress-People’s Party of Armenia bloc on Friday, April 14 is applying to the Constitutional Court to challenge the legitimacy of the results of parliamentary elections, held across the country on April 2.

According to the bloc’s office, the opposition alliance will demand that the court annul elections.
