The opposition accuses Sargsyan, who was twice elected to the presidency, of poor management and the deterioration of the economic situation in the country; On April 17, the opposition announced the start of a velvet revolution. Despite the protests, on the same day, the Armenian parliament elected Sargsyan head of the Cabinet. Less than a week later, on April 23, Sargsyan resigned amid ongoing protests. Earlier, amendments to the Constitution of Armenia came into force, according to which the prime minister will have the broadest powers.
