Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s continued stay in power will “trigger civil war” in the country, according to political scientist Stepan Danielyan.

In a Facebook post on Friday, he indicated there is no prospect for a “political corpse” to remain prime minister, at least because a significant part of the society will not accept it under any circumstances.

“His stay will definitely trigger a civil war,” Danielyan wrote.

“There is a different problem here: the longer he stays in power, the more the state continues to collapse. And what is the point of prolonging this situation? It can already be considered a sabotage and it’s strange that there are still people who fail to understand this simple thing,” he added.
