Leaders of  Russian-Armenian organizations  urge Armenian citizens to  vote for the political forces of Karapetyan, Kocharyan, or Tsarukyan

ArmInfo.Following a meeting on May 27, chaired by the head of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR), Ara Abrahamyan, the leaders of Armenian organizations in Russia unanimously adopted a resolution.

According to the UAR press service, the resolution issued by the  heads of regional branches of the UAR and other national and cultural  associations of Armenians in Russia ahead of the upcoming  parliamentary elections in Armenia on June 7, calls on Armenians to  actively participate in the country's electoral processes  and cast  their ballots for one of the three opposition parties running under  numbers 3, 7, and 17 on the ballot. Chronologically, these refer to  Samvel Karapetyan's "Strong Armenia" bloc, Robert Kocharyan's  "Armenia" alliance, and Gagik Tsarukyan's "Prosperous Armenia" party.

The resolution notes that the eight-year rule of Nikol Pashinyan and  his ruling political force has resulted in the loss of Artsakh for  Armenia and the Armenian people, sparked a crisis in relations with  the Armenian Diaspora, and led to indiscriminate attacks on the  Armenian Apostolic Holy Church the spiritual and moral backbone that  unites all Armenians as well as the persecution of Armenian clergy.  Furthermore, the resolution cites a rampant increase in the national  debt, a crisis in relations with partners in the defensive and  economic blocs (the CSTO and the EAEU), and the emerging risk of  Armenia losing its sole strategic ally, Russia.

"All of this carries an inevitable threat of irreversible and  irreparable losses for our national identity, state sovereignty and  security, and and leads to an even greater weakening of our nation's  resilience against existing challenges. Precisely because of this,  the unfolding situation cannot be viewed merely as an internal matter  for Armenia; it is the concern of Armenians worldwide, who have  always identified themselves with the Homeland, and no one has the  right to deprive them of the opportunity to participate in its life  and development.

 Dear citizens of Armenia! The vote of each of you is decisive for  the future of Armenia. Be sure to take an active part in the voting  in the elections to the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia  on June 7, 2026. Do not give in to emotions, intimidation and  pressure, cast your vote for those forces that advocate for peace and  a strong Armenian statehood, the establishment of equal and dignified  relations with all neighboring states through a balanced policy, but  not at the cost of losing old friends and allies. Vote for one of the  three opposition parties under numbers 3, 7 and 17 on the electoral  list so that your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can  remain Armenians and live in a strong, secure and prosperous  country," the resolution reads.
