Robert Kocharyan and Samvel Karapetyan are unresolved person candidates. This run does not mint them. Russian trade measures sat in the OSCE neighbourhood as pressure, not as a unique turnout coefficient.
Washington 8 August 2025; 7 June 2026 certificate. Procedure, not two-thirds. Keep Civil Contract wins a certified parliamentary majority on 7 June 2026 on 2026-06-07 separate from neighbouring Velvet, 10 November 2020, September 2023 flight, Washington TRIPP, and 2026-certificate instruments.

The path is electoral integrity: a completed certified majority under foreign pressure, not a unique 2026 GDP print and not two-thirds.
Who was responsible
Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.
