During the pre-election campaign in Gyumri the leader of the "Bright Armenia" party, PM candidate Edmon Marukyan said without consolidation, resources will be spent to destroy each other. "Our strongest message is consolidation. Everyone has good plans, but without consolidation, no important program will be implemented, for there will be no potential," said Marukyan.
Armenia’s Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan has issued a statement where he calls to stop mocking citizens expressing their opinion on elections. "This vicious phenomenon is very worrying, as it indicates the polarization of the society, as well as the unacceptably high level of intolerance. Therefore, I call to stop this, and all political forces participating in the election campaign must take action, including urging their supporters to refrain from insults, swearing, and hate speech. One of the main tasks of this election is to restore solidarity in the country and ensure the rule of law, and not deepen the polarization and intolerance," he wrote.
The representative of the "I Have Honor" ("Pativ Unem") alliance Davit Harutyunyan doesn't exclude the idea of forming a coalition with the "Armenia" alliance. He expressed the statement during an interview with "Azatutyun". "One thing is clear, all the prudent political forces have very clearly stated that there can be no cooperation with the force led by Pashinyan. And it is obvious because they were not involved in politics. The rest will be decided after the election results," he said. Haruntyunyan added that they should talk about alliances in the next round, after the elections.
The Special Investigation Service of Armenia reports that the court has granted the motion to remand in custody a representative and an MP candidate of a political party running in the snap parliamentary elections. According to the available information, the latter has given bribes to voters in the Gavar region in the form of food to vote for the party.
On June 21 Pashinyan invites people to Republic Square to note the victory of the non-violent, steel revolution. During his pre-election campaign in the Gegharkunik region, he called on the citizens to go to the polling stations on June 20 and show who the "mud" is, referring to the way the opposition used to call current authorities and its supporters.
The PM candidate for the "Civil Contract" party Nikol Pashinyan says his party wants the people living in Armenia not to be submissives, but citizens. He claims that an elite circle is formed in Armenia. "They have got the education, they have got the business, they have got the opportunity. This is the result of a very long policy because education has been limited," Pashinyan said.
PM candidate, the leader of the "Armenia" alliance Robert Kocharyan visited Spitak, Lori on the 6th day of the pre-election campaign. During the meeting with the citizens, he stated that the current government has done nothing for Spitak in the last three years. "After June 20, you will see a government for which it will be a matter of honor to look you in the eye every time we come here and say what we have done," Kocharyan promised. He announced that they are coming to power to restore the country's security, protect the borders and ensure economic growth, prevent emigration, create jobs, and provide a prosperous life for everyone.
During a campaign event in Armenia’s northern town of Berd on June 11, acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to speculation that Armenia and Azerbaijan could return to Soviet-era borders in the future and exchange enclaves. Pashinyan mentioned that during the negotiation stage in the run-up to the November 9 ceasefire agreement, which ended the 2020 Karabakh war, there was concern over the topic of the enclaves. According to the acting prime minister, the topic of enclaves has always been on the agenda of Armenia-Azerbaijan talks since 1999, and Azerbaijan has brought up the issue from time to time.
The Democratic Party of Armenia has issued a statement noting that it does not recognize the decision of the Central Electoral Commission on invalidating the party's PM candidate Tigran Arzakantsyan's registration, considering it to be an expression of political bias. "We think this decision was made under pressure, as the Democratic Party has become a serious force, and Tigran Arzakantsyan has gained such a reputation that enjoys the trust of tens of thousands of voters․ The law has no retroactive effect. The decision will be appealed in court soon. The removal of the leader of the Democratic Party puts under question the legitimacy of the June 20 elections in general. Together we must protect the state from any illegal actions," the statement notes.
