Armenia's armed forces call for PM Pashinyan's resignation
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Feb. 25 fired the head of the general staff of the armed forces after an "attempted coup."
Pashinyan fired the deputy chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Tiran Khachatryan, earlier this week after he derided the prime minister's claim that just 10% of Russia-supplied Iskander missiles that Armenia used in the conflict exploded on impact.
