LIVE: Protesters continue to block central Yerevan avenue
Members and supporters of the Tavush for the Homeland movement led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan continued to block Marshal Baghramyan Avenue in central Yerevan on Monday morning.
Addressing a rally in Yerevan’s Republic Square on Sunday, Galstanyan announced the start of four days of nonstop street protests to drive Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan from office.
He urged the National Assembly to convene a special session on the government's resignation and the formation of a new government on Tuesday.
The protesters led by the cleric marched to the Armenian parliament late on Sunday. Many of them spent the night on Baghramyan Avenue near the parliament building, setting up tents there.
