Snap parliamentary elections: Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan must resign by end of April

Snap parliamentary elections may be held in Armenia in case of the resignation of the Prime Minister. This is enshrined in the Armenian main law.

Thus. The procedure for holding special elections to the National Assembly is defined in Article 92 of the Armenian Constitution. Accordingly, the extraordinary elections of the National Assembly shall be held after the dissolution of the National Assembly, not earlier than 30, not later than 45 days later.

However, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has not resigned, and the National Assembly has not been dissolved. Instead, Pashinyan, violating the constitutional sequence, announced the date of the snap elections.
