Armenia’s top court on Saturday threw out a challenge by opposition parties to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s victory in snap parliamentary polls last month.
An alliance of parties led by ex-president Robert Kocharyan asked the constitutional court to overturn the election results. Pashinyan called the early vote to defuse a political crisis that engulfed Armenia following last year’s military defeat to Azerbaijan.Six weeks of fighting over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in September and November 2020 claimed more than 6,500 lives. The eventual Russian-brokered ceasefire also saw Yerevan cede to Baku swathes of territory it had controlled for decades.
