Protesters march to Armenian government
Members and supporters of the Tavush for the Homeland protest movement led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan marched to the Armenian government which was set to host a regular cabinet meeting on Thursday morning.
Riot police fired stun grenades and other forcible tactics outside the Armenian parliament on Wednesday as they clashed with protesters demanding Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s resignation.
The Armenian Health Ministry said on Thursday that as many as 101 people, including police officers, sought medical care after the clashes.
The archbishop blamed Pashinyan for the police violence and urged supporters to continue protests.
Later reports revealed that the cabinet meeting was rescheduled for Friday.
