Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told the army to do its job and defend the country, and said that Armenians would not allow a military coup to take place.

Addressing his supporters at a rally after the military called on him to resign earlier on Thursday, Pashinyan said the question of his resignation could only be decided by the people because he was elected by the people.
