Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan resigned unexpectedly Monday after days of protests against him by opposition supporters, led by Nikol Pashinian, who claimed he was clinging to power after serving the maximum 10 years as president. "The street movement is against my tenure. I am fulfilling your demand," he said in a statement. Thousands of people cheered his resignation in the streets of the Armenian capital, Yerevan, the 11th day of demonstrations. Hundreds of soldiers joined the anti-government protesters in celebrating. Motorists honked their horns and Armenians hugged and kissed each other.
