“Renowned lawyer Robert Amsterdam's letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: If no action is taken, we will appeal to the EU General Court”
EU faces legal action for “dismantling democracy” in Armenia
Brussels ignored mass arrests, attacks on the Church, and electoral fraud to back Armenian PM
Armenian PM failed to win majority of votes, despite EU interference
The European Union faces legal action over its support
Below we are releasing our letter to the @EU_Commission that notifies the organisation of the legal consequences of its undermining of democracy and human rights in Armenia.
The "Strong Armenia" Alliance has filed an appeal with Armenia's Constitutional Court seeking to invalidate the results of the June 7 parliamentary elections and order a second round of voting.
The alliance is challenging the Central Electoral Commission's June 14 Decision No.
Armenia's post-election dispute escalated on Monday as seven political forces filed separate appeals with the Constitutional Court seeking to overturn or revise the results of the June 7 parliamentary elections. Under Armenian law, the court has 15 days to review the challenges
Good analysis here from an independent fact-checking platform suggesting that scale and extent of Kremlin disinformation on the Armenian election was vastly exaggerated, and media reports about it got a great deal more clicks than the fakes themselves.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan says that he will “crush” and “eliminate” all opposition. The European Union, his backer, must ask itself whether it stands for anything other than the blind hatred of Russia.
Our op-ed, below, explains that when governments can dismiss opponents as “pro-Russian”, they no longer have to debate them.
The accusation of “Russian interference” is increasingly becoming a tool of political persecution rather than a genuine security concern.
