Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan says will resign in April
YEREVAN, March 28, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan
announced Sunday that he will resign next month while staying in office until
snap parliamentary elections due on June 20, as part of an effort to curb the
political crisis gripping the Caucasus country.
“I will resign in April. I will resign not to resign, but in order for
early elections to take place,” Pashinyan said during a visit to northwest
Armenia, according to a video published on his Facebook page.
“I will continue to serve as interim prime minister,” he added.
