٠٠:٠٢:٢٧Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Yerevan on Sunday to demand the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Footage shows demonstrators waving flags and chanting slogans as they are marching toward the residence of the head of the country's government.
"We must form a transitional government that will be a government of reconciliation, a government with professionals who are patriotic, executive, responsible to the motherland and God-loving, who will follow clear directions, the first of which is internal harmony," said Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan.
Taron Chakhoyan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armenian Prime Minister's Office, called the protesters' march to Pashinyan's residence a 'provocation'.
At the time of publication, there was no information on the arrests of the demonstrators.
On the eve, Gurgen Melikyan, one of the leaders of the Tavush for the Homeland Movement, said that the organisation had nominated Galstanyan for the post of Prime Minister of Armenia.
Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, head of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC), reportedly organised the protest. Earlier, on May 10, he indicated that opposition party factions would initiate impeachment proceedings against Pashinyan over territorial concessions to Baku.
On 7 May, at a press conference, Pashinyan stated his refusal to heed the protesters' demands.
On April 19, the Armenian Foreign Ministry announced that four villages - Baghanis Ayrum, Ashaghi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Ghizilhajili - would be transferred to Baku.
