On Tuesday, the Constitutional Court denied the Zartonk political party’s following mediations: information from the NSS regarding when each citizen who participated in the elections left Armenia and returned, and how many citizens included on election lists, according to NSS data, were outside of Armenia.

Other mediations from the same political party were also denied, including demanding the number of public servants of Armenia from the State Revenue Committee and the Prime Minister’s Office, and the duration and causes of power outages in polling stations from the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure. Zartonk also requested mediation from the Ministry of Defense to request information on how many soldiers participated in the elections. The discussion of this mediation was postponed by the decision of the Constitutional Court.

The mediation made by the I Have Honor alliance’s representative, Davit Harutyunyan, in connection to Armenia alliance member Mkhitar Zakaryan was also denied. The discussion of several Armenia alliance mediations was also postponed.

Then, the president of the court, Arman Dilanyan, announced that the Constitutional Court session will continue in private so that the court can discuss the issue of holding a closed court session with the parties and leave the deliberation room to make a decision. According to Arman Dilanyan, according to the law, the issue of holding a closed session is discussed behind closed doors. “The rapporteur in this case has mediated to hold a closed session.”

The Constitutional Court continued to discuss appeals made by the opposition political forces, namely the Armenia and I Have Honor alliances, and the Zartonk and Armenian Homeland political parties, challenging the results of the June 20 elections in joint proceedings on Tuesday.
