Armenian PM warns of a military coup, takes severe action
Lahore, 25th February: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warns of a coup attempt after the army demands his resignation.
Baaghi TV: Armenian Prime Minister has warned of an attempted military coup against him on Thursday after the army has demanded that he and his government should resign.
According to the Armenpress news agency, the military in its statement said, “The prime minister and the government are no longer able to make reasonable decisions.”
The statement accused Mr Pashinyan’s government of making serious mistakes in foreign policy resulting in the Armenian state being on the verge of destruction.
The statement further said, “The army has always been with the people, just like the people are with the army.”
Mr Pashinyan has faced huge protests after losing last year’s conflict with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. During the six-weeks of fighting late last year, Azerbaijan not only recaptured areas around the enclave but also took the key town of Shusha inside it.
Russia brokered a deal afterwards, under which Azerbaijan kept the areas it had captured. As per reports, hundreds of Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the disputed area.
