YEREVAN: Top Armenian security officials and ministers stepped down on Monday following Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan´s call for their resignation and criticism of their failure to fight corruption.
Pashinyan´s rule has been unshaken despite the opposition´s attempts to mount a wave of street protest this spring over his handling of a longstanding conflict with arch-foe Azerbaijan. Early on Monday, Interior Minister Vahe Ghazaryan resigned, as well as the minister for territorial administration, the head of the Anti-Corruption Committee, the head of the Investigative Committee and the chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council.
