Election Finalized: Armenia’s Central Election Commission confirmed June 7 parliamentary results: Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract won 49.745% and 64 seats, Strong Armenia 23.271% and 29 seats, and Robert Kocharyan’s Armenia bloc 9.923% and 12 seats; Gagik Tsarukyan’s Prosperous Armenia fell just short of the 4% threshold after CEC annulled results in three polling stations, with protests and a hunger strike reported outside the CEC. Constitutional Majority: Civil Contract secured the 3/5 majority needed for constitutional laws, but not the 2/3 needed for constitutional amendments. Opposition Pushback: Multiple opposition forces called the vote illegitimate and vowed legal and political action, while courts rejected some challenges and ordered reruns at affected stations. Travel Ban: Authorities barred Robert Kocharyan from leaving the country, drawing claims of political motivation. Peace Talks: Armenia and Azerbaijan resumed high-level peace agenda talks in Dilijan, agreeing the next meeting will be in Azerbaijan. EU Support vs Russian Pressure: The European Commission said it is preparing over €50 million in aid and easier trade steps for Armenian goods after Russia tightened export restrictions, including on flowers. Diplomacy: Armenia’s FM Ararat Mirzoyan is set to attend an EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg. Legal Battle: Tsarukyan filed defamation lawsuits against Pashinyan and state TV, seeking retractions and damages.
