Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has arrived in Armenia.

Members of the For the Republic Party, led by Arman Babajanyan, were waiting for the Russian foreign minister on the way from the Yerevan international airport—and with a banner reading, "Murderer Putin," reports the RFE/RL Armenian service. There is a police car in the area, but the patrol police are not obstructing this protest in any way.

Sergey Lavrov will be on a working visit to the Armenian capital Yerevan on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Russian foreign ministry had reported that during his visit, Lavrov will hold talks with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and President Vahagn Khachaturyan.
