Ten supporters of an opposition Armenian party were detained.

In Vanadzor, security forces detained 10 supporters of the Prosperous Armenia Party, and three of them were arrested.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, on May 23, Andranik Tevanyan, leader of the Mother Armenia Party and number two on the Prosperous Armenia Party's election list, was arrested for two months. The court allowed him to participate in the election process through representatives.

Oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan's Prosperous Armenia Party and the Mother Armenia Party are participating in the parliamentary elections.

Yesterday, May 26, law enforcement officers conducted a search of the Prosperous Armenia Party office in Vanadzor. Ten people were detained, NEWS.am reported. They are accused of giving and receiving election bribes.

"Ten people have been detained as part of a criminal investigation launched by the Anti-Corruption Committee of Armenia into cases of giving and receiving election bribes," Sputnik Armenia quotes the Anti-Corruption Committee as saying today.

Three people were detained, and another was placed under house arrest.

Parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for June 7. Seventeen parties and two blocs have been admitted. Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia bloc, Robert Kocharyan’s Armenia bloc and Gagik Tsarukyan’s Prosperous Armenia party are the most pro-Russian participants in the upcoming elections. The Kremlin is banking on Karapetyan, but he is legally ineligible to participate in the elections.

Recall that the number of "Strong Armenia" supporters arrested in connection with the case of obstructing the campaign in Armenia has risen to 10.

The opposition's fragmentation has not diminished despite the campaign that began on May 8 and the increased pressure: the main opposition parties are vying for votes and political leadership. Representatives of the "Strong Armenia" and "Armenia" blocs emphasized the importance of partnership with Russia, but emphasized the need for the country to pursue an independent policy.

The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report entitled "2026 Elections to the National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia".
