    By IANS/RIA Novosti,

    Moscow : Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan Thursday signed a decree
    to dissolve government following the election of a new parliament. The
    dissolution followed the first session of the newly-elected parliament
    earlier in the day, Armenian media reported.

    The proposal for the cabinet's resignation was submitted to the
    president by Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan in line with the country's
    Constitution which stipulates formation of a new government after
    parliamentary elections.

    Eight parties and one party alliance ran in Armenia's May 6
    parliamentary elections, with the Republican Party of Armenia
    eventually winning by gaining 44.05 percent of the vote. It won
    majority of the seats in the country's 131-seat parliament.

    The Armenian president has now 10 days to name the new prime minister
    and endorse other new ministers. The current cabinet will continue
    in a caretaker role until then.

    Opposition leaders had contested the results of the May 6 elections
    and submitted a motion with the Supreme Court of Armenia, but the
    court rejected it Thursday ruling that the results were fair.
