A group of citizens are protesting in front of the Yerevan hotel where a panel discussion, entitled “Together for Peace and Democracy,” is taking place.

The demonstrators are demanding the return of the Armenian captives being illegally held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

Delegations, led by the presidents and vice presidents of the parliaments of Northern European and the Baltic countries, have arrived in Armenia to participate in this panel discussion.

“We are here to say that we will not be silent. [Armenian PM] Nikol Pashinyan does not represent the voice of the Armenian people. We have come [here] to say that we do not agree with your steps. The terrorist acts of [Azerbaijani president Ilham] Aliyev must be criticized by you,” said one of the protesters.
