A coalition of pro-Russian opposition parties in Armenia has formally requested the annulment of recent parliamentary election results. The call follows the victory of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s party in the elections held last Sunday. The request was submitted to the Central Election Commission by the “Strong Armenia” party, according to party member Aram Vardevanian. Details regarding the grounds for the annulment request have not been fully disclosed. Pashinyan’s win signals a continuation of his pro-European policies, a shift that appears to be contested by factions favoring closer ties with Russia. This challenge could potentially lead to political instability within the country. The Central Election Commission will now review the opposition’s claims and determine the next steps.
