Armenian Prime Minister Requests Resignations of Officials

In a significant political move, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan requested the resignations of six high-ranking officials, including the Interior Minister Vahe Ghazaryan and Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council Karen Andreasyan. This decision, stemming from systemic issues within Armenia's judicial and law enforcement bodies, comes after Pashinyan publicly criticized their poor performance and rising crime rates. He emphasized that the reasons behind the resignations are not personal but rather reflect ongoing inefficiencies despite government support and reforms. Pashinyan expressed his frustration with the current state of affairs, stating that he has done all he can to support these institutions. This resignation wave signals a potential overhaul in Armenia's governance and approach to addressing systemic challenges. Pashinyan's statements highlight his commitment to making decisive changes rather than continuing consultations on these matters.
