Opposition parties in Armenia on Saturday gave an ultimatum to the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign until Dec. 8 amid the ongoing protests against the government, APA reports citing Anadolu.

Gathering at the Freedom Square in the capital Yerevan, thousands of protesters called on Pashinyan to resign.

Protests erupted in Armenia earlier last month after Pashinyan accepted defeat by signing the deal with Azerbaijan and Russia to halt the fighting over Upper Karabakh.

The opposition parties also warned Pashinyan that there would be civil disobedience across the country if he does not resign within the given period.
