Following the entirely predictable decision of the Constitutional Court of Armenia, the public and political debate has once again intensified around the question of whether the two opposition forces that entered parliament should take up their mandates or refuse them. Some argue that accepting the mandates may be seen as legitimizing the disputed election results or as a form of political discrediting for the opposition.
The campaign to strip political opponents of their assets is gaining new momentum in Armenia.

It also showed that Armenia is not a modern state.
The Republican Party calls on all political forces that bear responsibility for the Nation and the State, and on every citizen, to overcome their differences and unite around a single common goal: to restore the people’s stolen vote and defend Armenia’s statehood.
