Again, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan has been asked to resign his position. This call was made by citizens in a recent protest.
Recall that series of protest have rocking the nation, demanding an abrupt end to the PM’s reign.
According to local reports, in what was the most recent protest, Police cordons guarded the government buildings near Republic Square and accompanied Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan when he walked from one building to another as demonstrators shouted “traitor!”
The demonstrations revive a wave of protests against Pashinyan that arose in November after he signed a cease-fire with Azerbaijan that ceded territory occupied by Armenian forces. The deal ended a six-week war over the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh territory in which thousands died, reports say.
Local reports have it that the protests had died down during the worst of the winter but have been refueled.
