MOSCOW (Reuters) – Armenia will announce a snap parliamentary election on Thursday or Friday, the Interfax news agency reported cited a government minister as saying.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has faced calls to resign since last November when he agreed to a Russian-brokered ceasefire that halted six weeks of fighting between ethnic Armenian and Azeri forces over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
