At 1pm, a rally will be held in front of the National Assembly building. The Homeland Salvation Movement, which demands the resignation of Armenia’s PM Nikol Pashinyan, informed this on Facebook Friday morning.

"The night on [Marshal] Baghramyan Avenue passed in a peaceful and working atmosphere. The hustle and bustle of the people did not stop until late at night.

[Ex-PM] Vazgen Manukyan [the aforesaid movement’s candidate for PM] was here early in the morning. The representatives of the Movement are also here. Citizens also continue to gather in front of the National Assembly," the Homeland Salvation Movement added.

On Thursday morning, the General Staff of the Armed Forces issued a statement in which the high-ranking military officials demanded the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan and his government. Pashinyan, however, considered the move as an "attempt at a military coup" and called on his supporters to gather at Republic Square in downtown Yerevan.

After their rally at Liberty Square in downtown Yerevan, the opposition demanding Pashinyan’s resignation marched to Marshal Baghramyan Avenue, continued their respective protest in front of the National Assembly, after which they announced that they would pitch tents and spend the night on Marshal Baghramyan Avenue.
