Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Andranik Makaryan on Friday refused to comment on the statement of the military’s top brass, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the cabinet.

Incidentally, Andranik Makaryan did not sign the statement.

Asked why he refused to join the statement and whether he does not share the concerns of his colleagues, he said at the Yerablur Military Pantheon: “I would not like to make any comments.”

At the same time, the senior officer told reporters: "All servicemen of the Armenian army stand with it.”

Makaryan also refused to answer another question whether the statement of the General Staff is a “coup attempt”. “I can’t say anything, let me refrain from comments,” he said.
