Anti-government protesters stormed a government building in the Armenian capital on Monday, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

A crowd of protesters could be seen forcing their way into the Kentron district hall while chanting "Armenia without Pashinyan."

Many representers of opposition parties joined the protesters, who eventually left the building.

The opposition urged the administration of the Kentron district not force employees to go to rallies in support of the current Prime Minister.

Two rallies are planned in the capital on the same day, the first one in support of Pashinyan, which will be held at Republic Square, whilst the second one with held against incumbent Prime Minister, starting from Baghramyan Avenue.

Protests against the prime minister flared up again on Thursday 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, called the army letter "an attempted coup" and tried to remove the Chief of the General Staff from office.

According to the President’s press-service, the President of the Armenian Republic Armen Sarkissian did not sign Pashinyan’s order and returned the document to the Prime Minister.

Anti-Pashinyan protests originally began 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 have officially handed controlled over to Azerbaijan.
