   MEMORANDUM

Achot Mirzoian, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have .jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion, Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir.2010), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Mirzoian’s motion to reopen as untimely where the motion was filed over six years after the BIA’s final order, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Mirzoian failed to demonstrate that there has been a material change in Armenia with respect to the government’s treatment of opposition party supporters to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time limit for filing motions to reopen, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Najmabadi, 597 F.3d at 991; He v. Gonzales, 501 F.3d 1128, 1132 (9th Cir.2007) (a change in personal circumstances does not establish changed country conditions).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
