Armenian News - NEWS.am presents the daily digest of top news as of 05.05.22:
PROTESTS IN YEREVAN
Actions of civil disobedience have started again in Yerevan Thursday morning. Protesters were again paralyzing a number of streets in the Armenian capital demanding the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
On Wednesday, after blocking major roads in the capital Yerevan, demonstrators rallied outside parliament to voice their discontent while Pashinyan was speaking inside.
Protesters brandishing tricolor Armenian flags shouted "Armenia without Nikol!" and "Leave!", according to video from the scene.
The opposition walkout came as Pashinyan was delivering a speech. "You run like you always run," he shouted at MPs leaving the session, while his supporters clapped.
Meanwhile, today, an opposition’s march led by Levon Kocharyan, the son of Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan, and opposition MP Aram Vardevanyan, got underway in Yerevan.
The police were attempting to apprehend MP Vardevanyan; but a little later they released him.
ARRESTS DURING PROTESTS
Police in Armenia have detained hundreds of people as protests mount against the government’s ongoing negotiations with Azerbaijan.
On May 2 alone, police detained 244 demonstrators who were blocking streets in Yerevan. It was the latest in a series of protests in recent weeks at which smaller numbers of arrests have been made.
On Wednesday, Resistance Movement coordinator Ishkhan Saghatelyan announced that their fight should be intensified and encompass the whole of Armenia. He called on the people of the provinces to resume protests and demonstrations in the provinces.
Peaceful acts of civil disobedience began in the Armenian capital on Monday, and a number of streets were closed off. In addition, opposition rallies have been held at downtown Yerevan's France Square since Monday.
