Armenian President Armen Sarkissian visited the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces.

He met with chief Onik Gasparyan, the president's press service reported.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces has earlier issued a statement in which the high-ranking military officials demanded the current government's resignation. Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan considered the move as an "attempt at a military coup." He has also submitted his proposal to dismiss Onik Gasparyan from the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces.

On Friday, the president has not yet signed the proposal but has launched a series of discussions to find a peaceful solution to the situation.
