The Second Pashinyan government was the executive branch of the government of Armenia from 14 January 2019 to 2 August 2021. Nikol Pashinyan was appointed Prime Minister by President Armen Sarkissian on 14 January 2019, after My Step Alliance's decisive victory in the 2018 Armenian parliamentary election.[1]

The Government was formed by the My Step Alliance, which consisted of the Civil Contract Party and the much smaller Mission Party.

The National Assembly approved a reduction to 12 ministries from the previous 17.[2][3][4]
