Armenian Premier Declares Army Chief Dismissed
Prime minister proposes return of former army head amid row erupting when military called for his resignation last month. Armenia s prime minister on Wednesday nominated a replacement for the country s sitting chief of general staff, who he earlier declared to be officially dismissed.
According to a statement from premier Nikol Pashinyan s office, a Feb. 25 decree dismissing Chief of General Staff Onik Gasparyan became legally effective on Wednesday as President Armen Sargsyan had neither signed nor appealed it at the Constitutional Court on time. As such, Onik Gasparyan is legally dismissed from his post from March 10, the statement asserted. Gasparyan, along with other senior commanders, released a statement on Feb 25 calling for Pashinyan s resignation.
