Protests in downtown Yerevan enter fifth day
The anti-government protests being staged in Yerevan’s Liberty Square entered their fifth day on Thursday.
MP Artur Vanetsyan, who leads the opposition With Honor (Pativ Unem) faction and the Homeland Party, along with several other opposition activists began an open-ended sit-in in the square in downtown Yerevan on Sunday evening, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his cabinet.
Later on Monday, 2020 Artsakh war participants Nver Kirakosyan and Artur Avagyan joined them, announcing an indefinite hunger strike in support of Artsakh.
The protest campaign now uses the hashtags #ComeToSquare and #IAmHereComeJoinMe.
The Panorama.am photographer took new protest pictures early on Thursday morning.
