Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced Sunday that he will resign next month while staying in office until snap parliamentary elections due on June 20, as part of an effort to curb the political crisis gripping the Caucasus country.
Political unrest erupted in ex-Soviet Armenia after Pashinyan in November signed a Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement with Azerbaijan that ended six weeks of fighting for control of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The prime minister earlier this month announced snap parliamentary polls that he said were "the best way out of the current internal political situation".
In a visit to northwest Armenia, Pashinyan told villagers that he will "resign in April" ahead of the vote...AFP
