Numerous Syunik residents are protesting on Monday against PM Nikol Pashinyan's visit to the province. "When we learnt about the plans of the traitor to visit the province, we joined Syunik residents with our raid response group. Our aim is not about allowing or not Pashinyan's entry to the province, but to show that Nikol will never can freely walk in Armenia. The traitors have no place in our country," Vahagn Ter-Nakalyan, member of Adekvat initiative told reporters. 

Ter-Nakalyan reminded that the current leadership came to power through blocking the roads and now they try to maintain their power, using the same method. 

"This comes to prove that hey have no power in this country. There can be no cooperation with Nikol. Even shaking his hand would be a betrayal."

"Nikol, you are a traitor," "Nikol, you are Turk," the protesters, who have blocked the road, are chanting.

One of the participants told reporters that he would prefer to lose his job and salary rather than the lands. The participants also called on not to yield to possible provocations, given massive police busses have arrived in Syunik. 

The participants of the rally also called for releasing Goris Mayor Arushanyan who was arrested after appealing to the locals to prevent the entry of the prime minister, 'who gave away the Armenian lands and disrupted the inviolability of Syunik.'
