Pasjinian has been in the hot air since signing a peace deal with the breakaway area of Nagorno-Karabakh with Azerbaijan, something some Armenians see as treason.
On Monday, thousands of supporters of the opposition gathered outside parliament in the capital Yerevan, where activists have set up a tent base and said they do not intend to move until Pasjinian has left.
- If the opposition in parliament agrees to new elections, we will agree to new elections.
Let's go to the polls and see whose resignation the people demand, Pasjinian said in a speech to thousands of his supporters in a square in the city.
This weekend, thousands of protesters marched through Yerevan to demand a change of power.
Last week, Pasjinian condemned the army's demand for his resignation, a request he himself described as a coup attempt.
