The presidential decree, published on the presidency’s website on Sunday, announced the appointment in accordance with Article 149 of Armenia’s constitution.
Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party secured a parliamentary majority in the June vote, paving the way for him to remain head of government.
Under Armenia’s constitution, the previous government resigns after the first sitting of a newly elected National Assembly but continues to serve in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed.
