For this he had a valid reason &mdash; the increasing tension over the years between him and former prime minister Tigran Sargsyan had to reach an outcome.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;This doesn&#39;t mean, of course, that he was organizing those protests or discussions. This means that he was doing that which depended on him for those discussions to receive as broad a political response as possible. As a result, the resignation of prime minister Tigran Sargsyan became inevitable because uniting against him were not only the four non-ruling political parties, but also Hovik Abrahamyan with his parliamentary support,&quot; reports the paper.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe newspaper stresses that after Tigran Sargsyan&#39;s resignation, there was nothing left in the magic, the target zone. &quot;Ahead is the political autumn, and it will be apparent only during the autumn how merged the four non-ruling parties and Hovik Abrahamyan are and whether they&#39;re merged at all,&quot; concludes the paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most significant result of the first 100 days of RA Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan&#8217;s term in office is that protest demonstrations and&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":253264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[13287,11161],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256399"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
