YEREVAN, 29 March, 2021 (TON): On Sunday, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan announced to step down for the upcoming snap elections.

During his visit to the Armavir region, the PM said, "I will resign in April. I will resign in order to let early elections take place."

He noted that he would continue serving as acting prime minister until the parliamentary elections slated for 20 June.

Earlier last week, Pashinyan announced Armenia would hold early parliamentary elections on 20 June.

However, the announcements came amid mounting tensions between Pashinyan and the Armenian army's general staff and opposition parties on the government's resignation.
