Imagine a country where the government is like a team that works together to make decisions. In Armenia, the team that was in charge resigned because a new team was elected to make decisions. This is a big change for the country and will affect how things are done.
Analysis
A Constitutional Requirement
The resignation of Armenia's government is a result of the country's Constitutional requirement that the government resigns on the day of the first session of the newly elected National Assembly. This is a significant development in the country's politics, and its implications will be closely watched by observers.
A Caretaker Government
The outgoing government continues to perform its duties in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed. This means that the current government will continue to make decisions and take actions until a new government is in place.
Controversies in the New Parliament
The first session of Armenia's newly elected National Assembly was marked by controversies as, for the first time in the country's history, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, was not invited to attend, drawing criticism from opposition lawmakers. The Armenian Apostolic Church has emerged as one of the government's most outspoken domestic critics in recent years, according to Anadolu Agency (AA). Karekin has repeatedly criticized Pashinyan's administration over issues including the country's security and relations with Azerbaijan, while the prime minister has publicly accused senior church leaders of interfering in politics.
