Wings of Unity: RA CC decision on Armenian elections tol legitimize  violations and deepen political crisis in country

ArmInfo. The "Wings of Unity" party of former Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan sharply criticized the Constitutional Court of Armenia's decision of July 4, 2026, which  upheld the results of the June 7 parliamentary elections and the  decisions of the Central Electoral Commission.

The corresponding statement was published on the party's Facebook  page on July 5.

The party stated that, in their opinion, the Constitutional Court  failed to fulfill its primary mission of protecting the Constitution  and public trust. The political party noted that numerous violations  were recorded during the parliamentary elections, including the use  of administrative resources, undeclared expenses, voter intimidation,  and the inaction of state bodies regarding the alleged violations.

Furthermore, Wings of Unity noted what they consider to be  unprecedented external influence on the electoral process, citing  statements from Moscow, Ankara, Baku, Washington, and Brussels. The  party believes this has forced Armenian voters to make their choice  based on the positions of foreign power centers.

"The Constitutional Court's decision effectively legitimizes problems  in the political system such as vote- buying, repression, abuse of  administrative resources, and other electoral violations. All of the  above could lead to a further strengthening of political  dictatorship, increased social division, and a decline in public  trust in state institutions," the party believes.

In this regard, the Wings of Unity party declared its complete  disagreement with the Constitutional Court's decision and expressed  its readiness to participate in all processes aimed at restoring the  legitimacy of the elections, ensuring electoral fairness, and  upholding the Constitution and democratic principles in Armenia.

As a reminder, the Wings of Unity party participated in the snap  parliamentary elections on June 7, 2026.  The party is led by former  Human Rights Defender of Armenia Arman Tatoyan. The party received  less than 1% of the vote, thus failing to meet the 4% parliamentary  threshold for parties. After the Central Election Commission of  Armenia announced the election results, the political force refused  to recognize their legitimacy and appealed to the Constitutional  Court demanding that the results be annulled.
