The status of Armenia’s top general remained uncertain on Tuesday nearly two weeks after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian decided to fire him in response to demands for the government’s resignation voiced by the military’s top brass.
General Onik Gasparian, the chief of the Armenian army’s General Staff, and 40 other high-ranking officers demanded that Pashinian and his cabinet step down in a joint statement issued on February 25. They accused the government of putting Armenia “on the brink of collapse” after last year’s war in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Pashinian rejected the demand as a coup attempt and petitioned President Armen Sarkissian to sign a decree relieving Gasparian of his duties.
