02:45Hundreds of protesters hit the streets of Yerevan to demand the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, on Saturday.
Protesters were seen braving the rain at the Freedom Square and then marching through the central streets with Armenian national flags and banners reading ‘Colourless prime minister, go away.’
Demonstrators were voicing their discontent with Pashinyan’s position towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“The main person responsible and guilty for the victims and the wounded - he joked, smiled, joked. And then he moved on to discuss the next issue. As if nothing had happened. Hundred days later, 100 days after the war, he can joke,” said former Minister of Justice Arpinne Ovanesyan, who also joined the rally.
Protests in Yerevan broke out after Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a Russian-brokered deal to end the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh on November 9.
As per the trilateral agreement, a number of Nagorno-Karabakh districts came under the control of Baku. The unrest in Yerevan resumed after Pashinyan rejected the call by the opposition to step down by December 8, 2020.
