YEREVAN, 3 March, 2021 (TON): Another motion by the Armenian PM Pashinyan for the dismissal of the Army Chief Onik Gasparyan has been rejected by the President Armen Sarkissian.
The President's Office said on Tuesday that Sarkissian decided not to sign the draft decree, but he will apply to the Constitutional Court to determine the issue.
"Faithful to his commitment, the President will continue steps aiming at further stabilizing the situation, and, by serving the institute of the president as a platform, is calling on everyone to negotiate to find a comprehensive solution to all existing problems," said the statement.
Since 25 February, 2021 the President had dismissed the motion of attempting a military coup for the second time.
The President has three days to either approve a motion from the Prime Minister or return it with objections, according to Armenian law. And if the motion is sent to the President again, he will have to choose to either sign or apply to the Constitutional Court.
