Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will step down in April. Early parliamentary elections are to be held in the country in June.
He stated this at a rally in the village of Aragats in the Armavir region.
At the same time, Pashinyan stressed that he would act as head of government before the elections.
"I will resign in April. But not to leave power, but to hold early parliamentary elections. I will continue to act as prime minister," he said.
Recall that Pashinyan will retain the powers of the Prime Minister of Armenia until the elections, it became known last week. According to the country's legislation, parliament must be dissolved for early elections. This is possible if the head of government resigns and parliament fails to elect a new prime minister twice. Pashinyan is expected to announce his resignation on April 20.
Prior to that, he announced early elections in Armenia, which will be held on June 20.
