YEREVAN, May 17. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, answering Thursday ahead of the new Cabinet’s first session journalists’ questions about the resignation demand demonstrators put to Taron Margaryan, Yerevan mayor, yesterday, said he finds it wrong to demand all and everybody to resign at once.
“If we try to solve all problems at once, we will fail,” he said.
The premier finds it wrong to demand everybody’s resignation at once. “Such issues should be solved step by step,” he said.
Commenting on tree cuts on the territory adjacent to Myasnikyan Monument, which brought protesters to the municipality building yesterday and prompted mayor resignation demands, Pashinyan said: “As I know, the cut trees will be replaced with new ones, and I don’t think that the municipality will not fulfill its promise.”
On April 23, Serzh Sargsyan, who was appointed by the Armenian parliament as prime minister amid widespread disaffection for him, resigned under the pressure of mass protests against his premiership. On the same day, Armen Sarkissian, Armenian president accepted the government’s resignation.
On May 8, the National Assembly elected Nikol Pashinyan as prime minister by a majority of votes - 59 MPs voted for him and 42 voted against him. -0---
