YEREVAN. – The citizens who have gathered outside National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia demand the resignation of PM Nikol Pashinyan.

There are a large number of police officers near the NSS building. They have formed a human wall and do not allow opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) leader, MP, and business tycoon Gagik Tsarukyan’s supporters to enter the NSS.

The police officers there are regularly urging those gathered to keep social distance.

Also, the police are obstructing the work of the media. They do not allow journalists and cameramen to approach the sidewalk where the protesters are. The PAP MPs are also not allowed to cross the opposite sidewalk.

To note, Tsarukyan was summoned to the NSS for questioning. The NSS on Sunday issued two statements with respect to the criminal cases related to him. Tsarukyan and the PAP members have stated that this is political persecution.
