The Tavush for the Homeland movement led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, the leader of this movement and Primate of the Diocese of Tavush of the Armenian Apostolic Church, marched from Garegin Nzhdeh Square and returned to the Republic Square, the heart of Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, by subway.

Archbishop Galstanyan said that now the participants of the march should rest, and he has several important meetings.

"We are not doing anything, we just visit different places. I have meetings in a little while now. Those meetings are extremely important. Now you rest. We will meet at 19:00 at the courtyard of Saint Anna Church [in Yerevan]," Galstanyan said.

Civil disobedience actions have resumed in Yerevan since early Tuesday morning. Numerous people are marching in the streets of the Armenian capital, and calling people to join them.

Also, they blocked several intersections for a short time.

There are a large number of police forces in a number of streets in Yerevan.

The special police forces have detained, using brute force, many of the marchers.

On May 4, the Tavush for the Homeland movement, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, had started a march from Kirants border village of Tavush Province to Yerevan, and this march reached the Armenian capital on May 9. Those who have joined this movement are against the incumbent Armenian authorities’ policy of unilateral concessions to Azerbaijan.
