Strong Armenia: Before making a decision on mandates, it is necessary  to await the final  election results 

ArmInfo. The "Strong Armenia" bloc will make a decision on mandates once the final results of the June 7 parliamentary elections in Armenia are in, following the completion of the ballot recount process, as stated by legal  expert Gohar Meloyan, a member of the bloc, during a press conference  in Yerevan on June 10.

The legal expert stated that before resolving the mandate issue, it  is necessary to clarify all the figures underlying the mandate  distribution. "We have recorded a huge number of violations. For  example, there have been cases where a torn ballot was deemed valid.  We believe that all citizens and political forces for whom ensuring  the rule of law is paramount should focus on monitoring these  processes," the "Strong Armenia" bloc member emphasized. According to  her, the amendments could have a significant impact.  For example, as  Meloyan explained, this concerns the Prosperous Armenia Party's entry  into parliament.  "The issue currently being determined is whether  the party will overcome the 4% threshold. If this happens, the Civil  Contract Party will lose the ability to make decisions unilaterally  based on a three-fifths majority in parliament. This concerns, among  other things, the ratification of international treaties, amendments  to the Constitution, and many other important issues. Therefore,  before answering all the questions, we must wait for the final  results. We also need to understand how many votes we received, how  many people voted for us, as this is also a matter of our  responsibility to voters. We consider this a serious issue: our  citizens have never been given a full opportunity to express their  will," the legal expert noted.  At the same time, she assured that  their struggle from the very beginning was not for the sake of  mandates.  "The country faces serious problems, and we entered this  struggle for the sake of our homeland, leaving much behind," Meloyan  concluded.
