The article mentions that Armenia needs to improve its relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, how we don't need to follow Russian interest, and how Turkey & AZ should use our land for transport links since it is beneficial for Turkey and the US.
In this article from 2001 entitled "We and Our Interests," Pashinyan writes that it is in Armenia's interests to provide a railway link through Syunik connecting Turkey to Central Asia. https://t.co/yjIxQV9NH9
What’s the point of these actions by the opposition when all the institutions are controlled by Pashinyan loyalists? They’re only legitimizing Pashinyans fake election by doing this.
Armenia's post-election dispute escalated on Monday as seven political forces filed separate appeals with the Constitutional Court seeking to overturn or revise the results of the June 7 parliamentary elections. Under Armenian law, the court has 15 days to review the challenges and issue a ruling.
The "Strong Armenia" Alliance, "Prosperous Armenia" Party, "Armenia" Alliance, "Wings of Unity" Party, "Democracy Law Discipline" Party, "New Power" and "For the Republic" Alliance of Democracy Defenders Party each filed challenges to the election results. The inclusion of Arman Babajanyan's "For the Republic" Alliance of Democracy Defenders Party, which has generally been aligned with Pashinyan's government, highlighted that concerns over the results extend beyond the traditional opposition camp.
Several of the challengers argue that serious violations affected the integrity of the election and are seeking to have the results annulled.
Speaking outside the Constitutional Court, attorney Hovhannes Khudoyan, representing the "Armenia" Alliance, said the alliance had submitted evidence showing that the elections were not conducted in a fair and transparent manner and were affected by serious violations.
The challenges follow weeks of controversy surrounding the vote, including recounts at 555 polling stations, the invalidation of results from three polling stations, disputes over vote totals, legal battles over election procedures, and protests outside the Central Electoral Commission.
The "Strong Armenia" Alliance submitted an 84-page appeal, while the "Prosperous Armenia" Party is seeking either a repeat vote or a redistribution of mandates that would allow it to enter parliament after narrowly missing the electoral threshold.
The Constitutional Court is now set to become the focal point of the dispute over the legitimacy of the June 7 election results as it considers seven separate challenges to the outcome.

As I’ve said many times before:
Who cares about a world without Artsakh? I don’t.
You can read this as my answer to pretty much every issue and dilemma we’re facing right now.
How is it legal that more than 18,000 voters were added to Armenia's database and classified as "secret"?
"The [Central Election Committee] informs Pastinfo these are secret lists."
In an election where 60 votes makes a pivotal difference in parliament.

Armenia’s Central Election Commission Completes Vote Count
Driving the news:
The Central Election Commission of Armenia has completed the counting of votes from the country’s parliamentary election.
A total of 2,503,976 citizens were eligible to vote. According to the commission, 1.458.677 voters participated, resulting in a turnout of 58.97%.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s ruling Civil Contract party received 727.160 votes, or 49,85%% of the total vote, securing 61 seats in the 105-member National Assembly.
The Strong Armenia Alliance, led by Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan, who is currently under house arrest, received 340,062 votes, or 23.31%, winning 28 seats.
The Armenia Alliance, led by former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, received 145,097 votes, or 9.95%, securing 11 seats.
The Prosperous Armenia Party received 58,368 votes, or 4%, securing 5 seats.
Why it matters:
A parliamentary majority requires 53 seats. With 61 seats, Civil Contract holds a governing majority and does not need to form a coalition government.
The big picture:
Although Civil Contract secured a majority, its 61 seats fall short of the 70-seat threshold required for a constitutional majority.
As a result, the ruling party would be unable to pass constitutional amendments on its own. Constitutional changes required by Azerbaijan would require support from opposition lawmakers, as the government lacks the votes necessary to amend the constitution without cross-party backing.

@Tiridateslll I don’t disagree with you. Opposition was stupid for even accepting and participating in the election. And Russia lmfao are fkn morons through and through. But i can’t forgive the people.
@Tiridateslll I mean I get it, you have to mobilize stupid people to your side and that’s where opposition failed. But 4eg, I kno ppl who are educated but say shit like “they’re all the same”. Why unnecessarily equate Nikol to opposition & diminish their chances? Regular people do that.
New polling from the Financial Times has Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, edging out Newsom.
Polymarket bettors still favor Newsom, who has seen a large decline since his rise last August.

@AlenZamanyan Lol, same thing that has been done with every pashinyan-led tragedy, catastrophe, and constitutional violation over the last 6 years. Why would today be different for the people or the opposition?

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.
They killed his mother too.
Sam was only 7 months old.
They murdered a mother. And her infant.
🇦🇲 Good omen: Pashinyan attempted to release a dove of peace at a campaign event. Twice.
The bird refused both times and was returned to its owner.
🔸️Ahead of this Sunday's elections (June 7th), pro-government/"EU path" compliant polls put him at 60%+.
🔸️Independent pollsters disagree - his party has a 44% approval, while the oposition was successfully weakened and dismantled.
Apparently even the doves have doubts over Kardashian TikTok fuelled economic miracle after severing economic ties with EAEU.
You have to laugh at anyone pushing the narrative that 300,000 Azerbaijanis are going to be settled in Armenia. Absolutely brain dead levels of propaganda, nobody serious in Armenia believes it.
🇦🇲🇪🇺 Nikol Pashinyan signed an agreement with the EU under which 250,000 refugees from the Middle East will be sent to Armenia.
I missed this news earlier and have too many questions now 🤦♂️
When hugging your child on this beautiful occasion, remember that for three years now, 30,000 children from Artsakh have been forced to spend Children’s Day far from their homes, schools, communities, and friends.
