The opposition insists that Sargsyan's resignation is just the first step in the political transition they were pushing for. With a red rose in his hand, protest leader Pashinian led the procession to the memorial complex on Tuesday afternoon. The opposition will continue to rally until "a full transfer of power" happens and a "people's candidate" is elected prime minister, Pashinian said. The Armenian opposition will be naive to crack open the champagne unless Sargsyan's allies, Karapetian in particular, are out, analysts warned. The ministry said Russia is following developments in Armenia closely and wishes the country a smooth and peaceful political transition.
