The 2021 elections were appealed, they lacked legitimacy, it is a different matter that the Constitutional Court did not have the courage to record. This was said by Aram Vardevanyan, deputy of the National Assembly "Hayastan" faction, in a conversation with NEWS am. According to Aram Vardevanyan, NA Speaker Alen Simonyan literally presents the fact that the results of the 2017 parliamentary elections were not disputed by the opposition faction "Yelk" in his answer. "By the way, the latter was a member of that faction or alliance." The MP reminded that the results of the June 20, 2021 elections were challenged in the Constitutional Court. "It is noteworthy that the results of the elections were disputed not only by the "Armenia" and "I have honor" alliances, but also by the "Awakening" and "Hayots Hayrenik" parties. That is, in general, the results of the elections were disputed both by the political units that passed the relevant threshold according to the decision of the CEC, and by the political units that did not pass the threshold. This indicates that there was no necessary confidence in the results of the elections, a necessary component of justice." According to the deputy, this is also due to the violations that were recorded. "Let me remind you that for the first time in the history of RA, during the elections, there was a decision of the Administrative Court, which clearly recorded the fact of abuse of administrative resources by the representatives of the Civil Contract Party. And this was also included in the decision of the Supreme Court. For the first time in the history of RA, the Supreme Court recorded the unprecedented amount of hate speech generated by the CP. For the first time, the Constitutional Court refused to defend the justification of the draft of the Constitution itself, that one faction cannot get such a volume of mandates that it would pass constitutional laws or elect officials of constitutional bodies without opposition. In other words, the alleged claim that the results of the elections were not disputed in the CC is not only an obvious lie, but it is also difficult to understand how such a position can be expressed by a high-ranking official. I think this is the case that the public can once again make its own conclusions regarding the information presented to it. I think it is also appropriate to mention that the case in the Constitutional Court received the widest coverage of the investigation of the case and the constitutional justice that was taking place. I don't know what the purpose of this attempt to mislead the public was, I think I am not the addressee of that question." Aram Vardevanyan said that the results of the 2021 elections were not accepted by a number of forces, including the "Armenia" alliance.
