A court in Yerevan on Monday reaffirmed its provisional decision to reinstate Colonel-General Onik Gasparian, the former chief of the Armenian army’s General Staff fired last month after demanding Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian’s resignation.
Gasparian and four dozen other high-ranking army officers voiced the demand in a February 25 statement that accused the Armenian government of misrule and incompetence. The statement was hailed by opposition groups but rejected as a coup attempt by Pashinian.
Pashinian moved to fire Gasparian immediately after the unprecedented act of defiance by the military’s top brass. President Armen Sarkissian twice refused to sign a relevant decree drafted by the prime minister. But Sarkissian declined to challenge its legality in the Constitutional Court, paving the way for Gasparian’s automatic dismissal.
