The Constitutional Court of Armenia has removed two judges from hearing a lawsuit regarding the election results.

Both judges were members of parliament in Armenia's ruling party.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, seven parties appealed the Central Election Commission's final decision on the parliamentary elections to the Constitutional Court. Armenia Party leader Robert Kocharyan also challenged the commission's decision to allow his criminal prosecution in the administrative court.

The Constitutional Court of Armenia issued two decisions, according to which two of the eight members of the Constitutional Court were removed from considering the joint lawsuit filed by political forces to invalidate the election results.

"According to paragraph 1, part 1, of Article 16 of the Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court", the participation of Constitutional Court Judge Vladimir Vardanyan in the consideration of the case... is impossible, since he has a biased attitude," the first decision, published on the court's website, reads. A similar decision was made regarding Judge Artak Zeynalyan.

Artak Zeynalyan was an MP from the ruling faction, and in 2018-2019, he was the Minister of Justice in Pashinyan's government, News.am clarifies.

The Prosperous Armenia Party of oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan, the Armenia bloc of former President Robert Kocharyan, and the Strong Armenia bloc of businessman Robert Kocharyan href="https://www.kavkaz-uzel.eu/articles/412363">Samvel Karapetyan are the most pro-Russian candidates in the Armenian parliamentary elections, analysts previously noted.

The parliamentary elections have effectively become a referendum on the future of the current government and Armenia's foreign policy. The "Caucasian Knot" published a report titled "2026 Elections to the National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia".
