Armenian PM Serzh Sargsyan resigns after days of protests Monday April 23,2018

There were scenes of jubilation in the Armenian capital Yerevan after protests forced the resignation of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan on Monday April 23,2018

Opposition supporters accused Mr Sargsyan, who was made prime minister last week after serving 10 years as president, of clinging to power.

"The street movement is against my tenure. I am fulfilling your demand," Mr Sargsyan said in a statement.

Former prime minister Karen Karapetyan has taken over as acting PM.

President Armen Sarkissian accepted Mr Sargsyan's and the government's resignation.
