Chief of the Armenian army’s General Staff Onik Gasparyan has “categorically rejected” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s demand for resignation, stating that “the demands of the army cannot be reversed”, Mediaport reported.
“The generals also sent a signal to Pashinyan that if pressures on Onik Gasparyan continues, the situation will further worsen,” it added.
Mediaport said earlier that Director of the National Security Service Armen Abazyan and President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan were in the office of the General Staff chief. “They locked the door from the inside and demanded his resignation,” the source said.
