the Military is demanding that the PM, Nikol Pashinyan, as well as the government resign, triggered by the firing of Tigran Khachatryan, Chief of the General Staff.
Pashinyan's declared it a coup attempt, and is calling on his supporters to come to Yerevan Plaza to defend him
the story is currently updating, sorry for the small OP
Pashinyan's sacked another military chief
I'm usually no fan of military coups in the Caucasus, but this is the one time where I'd be fully supporting the military if I was Armenian. PM Nikol Pashinyan is a traitor...[edited to avoid mod wrath] and needs to be prosecuted for his crimes against the Armenian People.

Considering that Pashinyan is attempting to blame the military for bullshit policies that he enacted, I doubt it's just a payroll issue.

If Biden hypothetically lined up US citizens to be slaughtered by cartels, and then fired the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and forbade investigations of any kind into his actions, what would you have the US military do?
A well deserved military coup.

Considering that you have the military who bleed for Armenia and know how to fight on one side, and a bunch of corrupt politicians on the other, this civil war will be rather short.
