Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan will always scream, provoke, threaten, ask, and he will do all this with his disgusting voice, Former Armenian Ambassador to the Vatican Mikayel Minasyan wrote on his Facebook. 

“He did it on the pages of the newspaper, from the rostrum of the National Assembly, during rallies and processions, then from the government dacha, and now he has returned to his roots. But there is one change. Now he screams from the grave," Minasyan noted. "And the only question is, do we want to be in the grave with him, making it also our grave, or will we forever leave this hysterical there alone? This issue has no "political" or "constitutional" solution. As it all began in an unconstitutional way, this is how everything should end. There is no other option."

"Today's march of the traitor demonstrated the number and faces of his real supporters. Only 1,500 people were “brought under arrest”, not counting the security forces. This is Nikol. The rest is lyrics," Minasyan also added.

The Armenian army joint staff on Thursday issued a statement noting that the army demands the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan and his government. The statement was signed by the Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces, his deputies, heads of departments, and commanders of all corps.

The Armenian army has expressed its resolute protest over the dismissal of the First Deputy Chief of the Armenian Armed Forces General Staff.

At the suggestion of the PM, President Armen Sarkissian had dismissed Tiran Khachatryan, who had reportedly mocked PM's words about the alleged flaw of the Russia-made Iskander missile systems. Following the incident, the Armenian army noted that the PM and the government are no longer able to make proper decisions for the Armenian people.

After this statement, Nikol Pashinyan made a Facebook post, noting that he had signed the necessary documents to dismiss Onik Gasparyan, Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces. PM also noted that considered this statement a military coup attempt, and he urged his supporters to gather Republic Square in Yerevan.

Numerous political scientists and analysts, however, called the PM's aforesaid announcement an attempt to lead to civil strife and bloodshed.
