"Wings of Unity" to contest  results of parliamentary elections in  Armenia

"Wings of Unity" to contest  results of parliamentary elections in  Armenia

ArmInfo. The elections to the National Assembly of Armenia on June 7, 2026, were historic for Armenian statehood, our national identity, and the fate of the  Armenian people worldwide.

From the very beginning, the electoral  process was marked by unprecedented abuse of administrative resources  by the authorities, as noted in a statement issued by the Wings of   Unity party.  "A systematic scheme was in place: high-ranking  officials responsible for the campaign, including mayors, widely used  coercion and intimidation against citizens. They forced them to avoid  opposition gatherings by threatening the dismissal of their family  members. There were numerous instances where citizens reported being  demanded by the authorities to photograph their ballots to prove they  voted for the ruling power.  Citizens were routinely forced to attend  government meetings under threats of dismissal, tax fines, and so on.  We even published recordings proving these facts, where kindergarten  directors were coerced, but received no response from law enforcement  agencies," the political force said in a statement.

It emphasizes that the entire election campaign initiated by the  authorities was accompanied by insults and hate speech, as a result  of which citizens were unable to understand and evaluate the  substantive programs.  "These elections are also notable for the open  interference of foreign powers: Baku, Ankara, Brussels, Washington,  and Moscow. As a result, instead of uniting the Armenian people,  these elections have further deepened divisions and spread  intolerance among the people. The biggest problem under these  circumstances is the ruling party's replication of anti-Armenian  policies.

We are convinced that the ruling party did not actually receive the  support it claims to have received from the official results. We are  convinced that the citizens' votes in favor of the Wings of Unity  party were falsified. Therefore, we categorically reject the  announced election results and consider them illegal, as they do not  reflect the true will of the citizens of Armenia. We are initiating a  process to recount the voting results and are currently discussing  contesting the election results entirely," the political force added. 

"Through these elections, the voice of the Armenian citizen was  stolen, along with their right to determine the future of their  state. We do not intend to tolerate what has happened. We will not  remain silent. We do not intend to abnegate our responsibility. Our  struggle continues across all possible legal, political, and public  platforms. To the very end. Justice will prevail," the party  concluded.
