The Writers Union of Armenia called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his government and the formation of an interim government in a statement released ahead of the New Year.

"We must admit with sorrow that we are closing 2020 in a very alarming situation for our people and the homeland,” the union said, referring to the lack of prospects for economic and social development, the government’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, the failed domestic and foreign policy and the country’s huge casualties and territorial losses in the recent Artsakh war.

“However, we believe that everything is not lost yet and there are still legal, diplomatic leverages, international formats and platforms which can be used to fight for pro-Armenian solutions and to make decisions with the involvement of serious and experienced professional forces and resources.

“But the current government can no longer do it.

“That is why we expect the resignation of the incumbent prime minister and the government, as well as the formation of a transitional government of national accord to achieve the goals stemming from the national interests and the vision of our people's future.

"God bless us all!” the statement said.
