The government is obliged to terminate the unlawful exercise of the powers of Nikol Pashinyan. This is stated in the statement issued by the opposition Armenia alliance of political parties. The statement also reads as follows:

“Nikol Pashinyan [acting Prime Minister of Armenia], who is trying to maintain power at any price, has created chaos in the country and is ready to perform any conspiratorial action against the State and homeland. The Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression de facto continues.

Nikol Pashinyan, who resigned as Prime Minister and has de jure lost his powers, does not have the competence to sign any document on behalf of the Republic of Armenia.

Besides, any action prohibited by international, including any agreement reached by use of force or with threat of use of force is null and void.

Based on all this,

1. The government is obliged to terminate the unlawful exercise of powers of Nikol Pashinyan.

2.  Only the new authorities to be formed during the upcoming snap elections can ensure the vital interests of the Armenian people and the territorial integrity of Armenia.

3. it is the duty of the government to organize activities for restoration of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Armenia through all possible means.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
