٠٠:٠١:٢٣Hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside Yerevan's parliament building on Wednesday to demand Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's resignation amid another round of anti-government protests.

Armenia's Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that 98 people had been detained after clashes with police.
According to the republic's Ministry of Health, 102 people, including one police officer, were injured in the clashes. One injured person required surgery, 85 people were discharged after receiving medical treatment, and another 16 are still being treated for minor and moderate injuries.
Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the 'Tavush for the Homeland' movement and head of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, called for four days of continuous rallies to demand the government's resignation and the formation of a new cabinet.
Ongoing protests calling for Pashinyan to resign began as he conducted border talks with Azerbaijan and made certain territorial concessions. Last month, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to delineate the border in the Tavush region and transfer control of the four villages - Baganis Ayrum, Ashaghy-Askipara, Kheirimli, and Kyzyl-Gajili - to Baku.
Pashinyan himself said that he would not comply with the protesters' demands to suspend the border process, warning that 'war will break out' if he did not continue.
The talks began after the long-running conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan retook control of the breakaway territory, a separatist area governed by ethnic Armenians, in September 2023.
It followed what Baku called a 'counter-terrorist operation' in the region, which Yerevan described as a 'large-scale aggression'. Subsequently, Nagorno-Karabakh's government said the self-declared republic would cease to exist by January 2024, while many ethnic Armenians left the area.
