Zaruhi Postanjyan, the head of the oppositional Apricot Country Party, said today that she needs 3,000 cars to force Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign.
The oppositionist explained that it is the exact number of cars, which is required to surround and block all government buildings in Armenia. Postanjyan recalled that in 2018, when the Armenian people overthrew the 20-year-old regime of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict instigators, Robert Kocharian and Serzh Sargsyan, this method worked.
“It is necessary to block the movement of representatives of the authorities (the prime minister, the president, governors, deputies of the My Step Alliance) for 48 hours and set a condition for them to resign,” news.am quotes her as saying.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan finds himself at the centre of a political crisis after the army demanded he resign, a move he said looked like an attempted military coup.
Here are some highlights from the 45-year-old’s rise to power and the challenges he has faced in his post:
Rise to Power
Pashinyan emerged as the leader of a wave of anti-government street protests that rocked Armenia in the spring of 2018.
Initially prompted by the election of former President Serzh Sargsyan as prime minister, the protests quickly began targeting the government’s perceived political cronyism.
Pashinyan, a former journalist and legislator, nurtured his image as a politician close to the people, wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap at protests to clash with the formal suits worn by members of the ruling Republican Party.
