Vazgen Manukyan, a joint interim PM candidate of the Homeland Salvation Movement, which demanded the resignation of Nikol Pashinyan and his cabinet, on Thursday announced a meeting of the movement’s Council amid the security challenges in Armenia’s Syunik Province.

"The developments in Syunik point to serious threats facing our country. Until the [snap parliamentary] elections, we may lose new territories of our homeland under this government,” he said in a statement.

“I invite the members of the Council of the Homeland Salvation Movement to a meeting tomorrow, May 14, at 5pm, to discuss our further steps,” Manukyan said.
