Opposition supporters flooded Yerevan streets again on Saturday demanding the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
The rally, which was also attended by dozens of Armenian army veterans, began in front of the Defence Ministry building in Yerevan.
Following speeches made by several activists, the crowd moved to Baghramyan Avenue. The protesters then marched towards the presidential administration and the parliament buildings.
The march ended on Republic Square and some of the protesters returned to the protest camp on-site.
Protests against Pashinyan flared up again last week after a group of military officers wrote a letter asking the prime minister to step down.
Despite the renewed pressure, Pashinyan has refused to resign, calling the letter an 'attempted coup' and tried to remove the chief of the General Staff from office.
According to the president's press service, Sargsyan did not sign Pashinyan's order and returned the document to the prime minister.
Anti-Pashinyan protests originally began in November of last year after he signed the Russian-brokered deal to end fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Under the terms of the trilateral agreement, a number of Nagorno-Karabakh districts have officially handed control over to Azerbaijan.
