Armenia’s second president and leader of the Hayastan Alliance, Robert Kocharyan, commenting on the parliamentary elections held on June 7, said that the alliance will challenge the election results.

He added that discussions are underway with opposition partners regarding the next steps.

“Dear compatriots, I thank every voter who placed their trust in the Hayastan Alliance. These elections took place amid widespread pressure by the authorities, arrests of opposition figures, unprecedented use of administrative resources, and electoral violations. We will challenge the election results. At this stage, we are discussing our next steps with our partners in the opposition camp.

We will present our approach regarding future actions after those discussions are completed. One thing is clear: we will not back down, and we will not abandon our position in this struggle,” the statement said.

According to preliminary results of Armenia’s June 7 National Assembly elections, the vote distribution was as follows: Civil Contract – 49.825%, Strong Armenia – 23.281%, Hayastan Alliance – 9.934%, Prosperous Armenia – 3.996%.
