If case of new elections, Armenian authorities unable use as much  administrative resource - lawyer 

ArmInfo.  The Armenian authorities do not want the results of the latest parliamentary elections in the  country to be annulled, as they understand they will not be able to  use the same amount of administrative resources to achieve the  desired result if a new electoral process were held.  This was stated  by lawyer Aram Vardevanyan, a representative of the Strong Armenia  bloc, in a conversation with journalists before the final session of  the Constitutional Court, where the election results are being  challenged and after which the court will retire to make a decision.

He stated that the closing arguments of the parties who filed  applications to the High Court will be presented at the  Constitutional Court today. "The Strong Armenia bloc will speak  first, followed by the remaining applicants, followed by the third  party (representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Anti-  Corruption Committee, the Investigative Committee of Armenia, and the  Ministry of Internal Affairs - ed.) and the defendant. This will  conclude today's hearing, after which the Constitutional Court judges  will head to the deliberation room. The deadline for making a  decision is July 4," the lawyer noted.

Reacting to the ruling Civil Contract party's view that the  opposition forces' election statement is groundless, the Strong  Armenia bloc representative noted that he hadn't expected any other  response.  However, as Vardevanyan noted, a certain portion of  citizens still expected them to annul the election results. 

"The ruling party does not want such a decision, as it understands  that it will not be able to use the enormous resources it deployed  during these elections to commit electoral violations again. Because  these resources have been exhausted," Vardevanyan concluded. As a  reminder, on June 19, seven political forces filed petitions with the  Constitutional Court of Armenia demanding that the results of the  parliamentary elections held on June 7 be declared invalid. On June  21, the Constitutional Court decided to consolidate all cases into a  single proceeding. The first hearing of the Constitutional Court of  Armenia began on June 26.  The deadline for the court to issue a  ruling is July 4.
