Numerous streets in Yerevan are being blocked again Tuesday morning—and at the call of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the Tavush for the Homeland movement and Primate of the Diocese of Tavush of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

People had closed off a number of motorways in both the capital and provinces of Armenia from early Monday morning, too.

During these actions of civil disobedience, 156 people were detained, and many of them were subjected to brutal force by the police. Those detained, however, were released hours later.

Also, marches were held under the leadership of Archbishop Galstanyan.

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.
