YEREVAN. – Past daily of Armenia writes: These days, the focus of internal political events is the well-known statement of Armed Forces General Staff chief Onik Gasparyan and dozens of other high-ranking officers demanding the resignation of [PM] Nikol Pashinyan.
According to Past newspaper’s information, in separate meetings, including with military circles, Nikol Pashinyan promised to resign on March 9 or 10, after which snap [parliamentary] elections shall be organized.
According to the newspaper's sources, Nikol Pashinyan actually assured that on March 9, when Onik Gasparyan's dismissal decision will come into force, and when, in fact, he [Pashinyan] will not see any danger from the army, he will resign and hold snap [parliamentary] elections in May.
However, neither the general nor the political and analytical circles believe, to put it mildly, Pashinyan.
On the other hand, the prevailing opinion is that if snap elections are held by these authorities, an unprecedented amount of administrative resources will be used, and the election results will be falsified.
