The message of the Catholicos of All Armenians, in particular, reads:
"Ahead of the alarming developments and current concerns in our native country, we met with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Mr. Nikol Pashinyan. Due to the growing social tensions facing the country, serious external and internal challenges, and the lack of public confidence in the Prime Minister, we paternally urged him to resign as Prime Minister in order to prevent shocks in public life, as well as possible clashes and tragic consequences.
In this regard, we also call on the National Assembly to act responsibly at this crucial moment for our homeland, to listen to the demands of the general public and to elect a new Prime Minister in consultation with the political forces and to form an interim government of national accord.
Only a government of public trust and professionalism can resolve the issues facing our people, restore national solidarity and unity, and hold snap parliamentary elections of undeniable necessity".
