Armenia's acting defence minister resigns - Ifax

Armenia's acting Defence Minister Vagharshak Harutyunyan has tendered his resignation, the Interfax news agency cited his ministry as saying on Tuesday.

Harutyunyan was appointed defence minister last November after six weeks of fighting in which the Azeri army drove ethnic Armenian forces out of swathes of territory they had controlled since the 1990s in and around the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
