YEREVAN. – The people who are protesting at the courtyard of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia—and in defense of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)—have closed off Baghramyan Avenue that runs along the parliament premises.

There is a large number of police forces in the area.

The protesters are demanding the cancellation of the signing of the agreement which envisages considerable territorial concessions by the Armenian party to the Karabakh conflict.

Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced at midnight that he had signed a document that was painful for Artsakh, and since then protests are being staged in Armenia.

At night, a group of protesters stormed the government and NA buildings.
