'Nikol must leave': Opposition protesters march in central Yerevan
Opposition protests aimed at forcing Nikol Pashinyan to step down as Armenian prime minister resumed in Yerevan on Friday.
Groups of protesters began marching along four key streets from France Square in central Yerevan at 12pm.
Artak Zakaryan, a former Armenian deputy defense minister and a senior member of the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), claims that the anti-government protests are gaining momentum with each passing day.
"Nikol must leave. His removal from the prime minister’s office is just a matter of time. They are well aware of it, which is best evidenced by their moves and statements,” he told reporters during a march along Mashtots Avenue.
The demonstrators were chanting “Armenia without Nikol!".
RPA Deputy Chairman Armen Ashotyan urged all to join the protest campaign in defense of Artsakh and “for the sake of our children and grandchildren”.
