Local media report that before he was officially sworn in, Mr Sargsyan told parliament that under the new constitution the prime minister would be "under parliament's control and can be replaced for political reasons". Sargsyan, who served as Armenia’s president from 2008 until stepping down because of term limits, was confirmed as the new prime minister by a 77-17 vote in parliament on Tuesday.
Amid anti-government protests, Armenia's National Assembly swears in former President Serzh Sargsyan as Prime Minister. The opposition call the move a "power grab".
