Armenian opposition groups protest against the election results.

GD&TĐ - Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Armenian Central Election Commission (CEC), demanding the annulment of the parliamentary election results.

On June 15, the CEC announced the final results of the election, in which the ruling pro-EU party, the Civic Contract Party led by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, won 49.74% of the votes.

The Mighty Armenian Bloc, founded by Russian-Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan, came in second with 23.27%, while the Armenian Union garnered 9.92%.

The Armenian Prosperity Party received only 3.98%, barely reaching the 4% threshold needed to enter parliament .

All three opposition parties are skeptical of the EU and favor closer ties with Russia, which remains Armenia's main trading partner and primary energy supplier.

While the CEC was processing the results and addressing numerous requests for recounts, activists from the Mighty Armenia Party, the Prosperous Armenia Party, and several others gathered outside the building.

According to videos from the scene, the protests were peaceful, with a heavy police presence.

RT correspondent Roman Kosarev, reporting from the scene, said that many protesters believe they have been "deceived or even robbed" and that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan "used every means to seize power."

Representatives of opposition parties boycotted the CEC session, accusing leader Vahagn Hovakimyan of essentially working for the Civic Alliance and undermining democracy.

Although the CEC recounted votes at 637 polling stations out of more than 2,000, they refused to do so at three specific polling stations, arguing that it would not affect the final results, leading to accusations that this refusal was "illegal".

The Armenian Prosperity Party is one of the most vocal forces, calling for protests as their chances of entering parliament depend on just a few dozen votes.

At an earlier protest, party representatives accused the committee of "manipulating data" and handed Hovakimyan watercolors, paintbrushes, and paper, seemingly implying he was falsifying results.

Meanwhile, the opposition faced repression before, during, and after the election.

On June 6th – the day before the election – six candidates from the Mighty Armenia party were arrested on charges of vote buying and money laundering, along with dozens of other activists arrested throughout the election campaign.

Following the vote, Armenian authorities initiated criminal proceedings against more than 100 people, mostly in connection with allegations of electoral corruption.
