Where the Case Stands Now
Per the original 5 June 2026 Azatutyun reporting, the sequence Mayr Hayastan eyewitness Sona Aghekyan described: leaflet refusal, driver acceleration, multiple BHK campaign workers struck, one hospitalised, driver fled. The police pre-investigation framing inverts the sequence: BHK representatives assaulted the driver first, driver fled in his vehicle, campaign workers struck during the flight, the strikes characterised as inadvertent.
In the 48-hour period after the incident, both narratives remained on the record without resolution. Voting day on 7 June passed. The hospitalised BHK worker's identity was not publicly disclosed. The driver's identity was not publicly disclosed. No formal investigation was publicly opened. The two-narrative state of the case is now stable in public record.
What Bargavach's National Vote Share Adds
Bargavach Hayastan's national share at the 404-precinct CEC cut was 5.38 percent -- above the 5 percent party threshold but inside the range of statistical volatility (at 185 precincts it had been 4.87 percent, below). Whether Bargavach Hayastan enters parliament depends on the final precinct distribution. If it does, the Nerkin Charbakh hit-and-run will be a closing-week incident in a campaign that successfully cleared the threshold. If it does not, the same incident will be one of several closing-week pressures that contributed to the bloc's failure to enter parliament.
Either outcome will not produce a re-investigation of the hit-and-run on its own. The case remains, on its face, a question about which narrative the physical evidence supports. The political surrounding of the case -- BHK's parliamentary entry or non-entry -- will shape whether the resolution arrives at all. OWL is documenting the case as it stands, with both narratives on the record, so that the post-vote investigative window can address it if institutional attention turns to it.
