Armenian PM faces military’s demand to resign, talks of coup
The Hindu
Armenia’s prime minister spoke of a military coup on Thursday after the military’s General Staff demanded that he step down after months of protests sparked by the nation’s defeat in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan.
The General Staff issued a statement calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, which was signed by top military officers. The move was triggered by Mr. Pashinyan’s decision earlier this week to oust the first deputy chief of the General Staff.
