Civil Contract party is not afraid of opposition taking to streets 

ArmInfo. The ruling Civil Contract party, which won the parliamentary elections, is not afraid of street fighting that opposition forces may wage. Vice Speaker of  the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Ruben Rubinyan  stated this in an interview with Public Television.

According to him, the authorities formed as a result of rigged  elections are afraid of street fighting.  Rubinyan also noted that  the country's authorities are not concerned about the opposition's  threats to resign their parliamentary mandates. In fact, the  authorities would be happy about it.

"I urge them not to come to parliament and not to accept mandates. If  they think we're sitting and waiting for them to accept their  mandates, they're deeply mistaken. We'll only be better off,"  Rubinyan said. He added that renouncing their mandates will not  render the National Assembly illegitimate. As a reminder, regular  parliamentary elections were held in Armenia on June 7, 2026.

Voter turnout was 58.97%. According to preliminary data from the  Central Election Commission of Armenia, after counting votes from all  2,005 polling stations, Nikol Pashinyan's ruling Civil Contract  party, Samvel Karapetyan's Strong Armenia bloc, and second president  Robert Kocharyan's Armenia bloc have all qualified for parliament.   The remaining candidates' results are below the required threshold of  4% for parties and 8-10% for blocs.
