Armenia’s parliament voted on Wednesday to lift martial law, ahead of an early parliamentary election planned in June.
The parliament voted in favor of lifting martial law with 118 votes in favor, one vote against and one abstention.
The initiative was presented by the opposition factions - Bright Armenia and Prosperous Armenia.
Before the voting head of My Step faction Lilit Makunts said they would back the initiative.
Armenia brought in martial law in September when war broke out between ethnic Armenians in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azeri forces. The conflict that erupted on Sept. 27 was brought to a halt on Nov. 10 by a Russian-brokered peace deal.
