Armenia's newly elected parliament began its term, triggering a constitutional process. President Vahagn Khachaturyan signed a decree accepting the government's resignation on the first day of the National Assembly's session.
The Armenian Constitution stipulates that the government submit its resignation to the president at the legislature's first meeting. Under the same constitutional provision, the president is obliged to immediately appoint the candidate nominated by the parliamentary majority as prime minister after the new parliament's term begins.
As a result of this procedure, incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is expected to form the government again.
