On May 9, Galstanyan called on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign. He later stated that he was discussing with members of the parliamentary opposition the impeachment of the head of the Armenian government. To start the procedure, you need to present your own candidate for prime minister and collect 36 signatures from members of parliament. Now the opposition factions “Hayastan” and “I have the honor” have a total of 35 deputies.
