On August 2, Armenian President Vaagn Khachaturyan signed a decree appointing Nikol Pashinyan as the country’s Prime Minister. The relevant document was published following the completion of the procedures stipulated by the Constitution.
The day before, the ruling party "Civil Contract," which holds a parliamentary majority in the National Assembly, officially nominated Pashinyan for the position of head of government and submitted the necessary documents to the president for his appointment.
