Former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Haykaz Bagmanyan joins the statement of the General Staff, officers, commanders of the Armed Forces units demanding the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan and the government.
“I don’t think the Armed Forces didn’t think about this statement. I believe that they have made a serious decision, and I join him, I support him. The defeated leader of the country cannot remain in office; on November 10, he was supposed to resign,” the general told 168.am.
Commenting on the allegations that the statement of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces is actually interference in the internal political processes, the general noted: “The army does not interfere in political affairs, it is a matter of the country’s security.”
Haykaz Bagmanyan believes that both the police and the National Security Service have the willpower not to follow Nikol Pashinyan’s orders.
