The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia demands the resignation of the Prime Minister and the government.
In a statement circulated by the General Staff of the Armed Forces, it is said:
“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia expresses its decisive protest regarding the dismissal of the First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia for short-sighted and unfounded reasons, which was carried out without taking into account the national and state interests of the Republic of Armenia, based solely on personal and presumptuous sentiments. In such difficult conditions for the country, such a decision is an anti-state and irresponsible step.
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the government are no longer capable of making adequate decisions in this crisis-laden and fateful situation for the Armenian people.
The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia have for a long time patiently tolerated the “attacks” aimed at discrediting the armed forces by the current authorities, but everything has its limits.
The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia have honorably fulfilled their duty, fighting shoulder to shoulder with their people against the enemy.
The ineffective governance of the current authorities and the most serious mistakes demonstrated in foreign policy have brought the country to the brink of ruin.
Given the situation that has arisen, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia demand the resignation of the Prime Minister and the government of the Republic of Armenia, while also warning against the use of force against the people, whose sons have perished defending the Homeland and Artsakh.
The army has always been with the people, just as the people are with the army.”
