The court had consolidated seven petitions into one case and heard it from 26 June, about 50 hours of sittings across six days, weekend included. On 4 July it upheld the Central Election Commission's 14 June certification. Chairman Arman Dilanyan said the decision is final on announcement; the written reasoning is due within three days.
The count was never the opposition's real target. The CEC recorded Civil Contract on 49.7%, or 726,819 votes, Strong Armenia on 23.3% and the Armenia alliance on 9.9%, the three forces now in parliament on a turnout near 57%. The opposition case attacked the conditions rather than the arithmetic, arguing the vote was neither free nor fair and pointing to what state bodies themselves described as organized, large-scale campaign crimes.
Five blocs, Strong Armenia, the Armenia alliance, the National Democratic Pole, the Armenian National Congress and Prosperous Armenia, issued a joint statement calling the ruling the start of a new, more systematic and large-scale phase of political resistance. Samvel Karapetyan, who leads Strong Armenia, remains under house arrest, and several of his figures are held on vote-buying charges the government brought and the opposition calls political. The authorities deny any violations and accuse the opposition of buying votes.
The ruling removes the last legal check on Pashinyan's second term and his three-fifths majority, which lets him pass constitutional laws and fill senior posts. It also hardens the external contest. The bloc that lost is the pro-Russian one, and on 29 May in Astana the other Eurasian Economic Union members, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, pressed Yerevan to put EU accession to a referendum.
The ruling removes the last legal check on Pashinyan's second term.
So a domestic court fight now feeds a geopolitical one: an EU accession law on the books, a first Armenia-EU summit already held, the question of leaving the CSTO, and the Zangezur route with United States development rights.
Watch three things. Whether the losing blocs take their seats or boycott. Whether resistance means the street or institutional obstruction. And what the written reasoning says when it lands this week. If the opposition stays out, Pashinyan governs unchecked into the accession decision. If it mobilizes, Armenia's turn West carries a domestic price.
