YEREVAN—Armenian opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan urged supporters to take to the streets on Tuesday, May 1, to pressure parliament to choose him as prime minister, and warned of a political “tsunami” if ruling officials stays in power.
Pashinyan led days of protests that forced veteran leader Serzh Sarksyan to step down as prime minister last week, and is the sole nominee to take over the role. But he needs approval from a parliament dominated by Sarksyan supporters.
