Armenia’s prime minister resigns clearing path for early election

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan resigned on Sunday, clearing a path for an early election on June 20.

Pashinyan had come under fire for his handling of the conflict with Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region after agreeing to a Russia-brokered ceasefire.

The decision prompted weeks of heavy protests opposing an end to the fighting and calling on Pashinyan to resign.

Announcing his resignation, Pashinyan said he was returning power to Armenians to decide on the future of the government through free and fair elections.

Karabakh is one of the ancient historical regions of Azerbaijan. The name Karabakh is a combination of the words “gara” (black, big) and “bagh” (garden, land). The word “Karabakh” as a name given by Azerbaijani people to their land first appeared in primary sources of the 7th century.

This Prime Minister or the other ones as candidates are all in the same garbage basket. It’s time for someone from the diaspora to step in and change history. Canada, USA, Australia etc, but not Armenia.

Trudeau should take a page out of this guys book. Buy a one way ticket to China where he belongs. I’m sure there are a ton of people that would pitch in for the ticket!

The reason for all that you have said is Armenia, which has been occupying Azerbaijani lands for almost 30 years! The Armenian people should not have supported the aggressive policy of the Armenian political authorities and sent their children to death.

Armenia needs new allies and partners.
