Opposition supporters demanding resignation of the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan camped out in tents outside the parliament on Friday.

The latest protest against the prime minister started on Thursday after a group of military officers wrote a letter asking for the PM to step down.

Despite the renewed pressure, Pashinyan has refused to resign and called the army letter "an attempted coup".

Protests against the prime minister started in November last year after he signed the Russian-brokered deal to end fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenian forces over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Under the terms of the trilateral agreement, a number of Nagorno-Karabakh districts came under Azerbaijani control.
