Anti-government protests in Armenia

🇦🇲 Anti-government protests in Armenia
Situation at 18:00 May 31, 2024

Protests continue in Armenia against the government of Nikol Pashinyan and the uncontrolled surrender of territories to Azerbaijan. Today, a new round of escalation of events was observed in the center of Yerevan .



▪️In the morning, protesters led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan , who heads the “Tavush for the Motherland” movement, picketed the building of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia in the morning. The protest then moved to the neighboring Foreign Ministry building, where Galstanyan demanded a meeting with Minister Ararat Mizoyan and department employees.

▪️The protest leader said that if Foreign Ministry employees refuse to talk, then citizens have the right to consider them agents of the Turkish-Azerbaijani government.

▪️After this, police units began to push the protesters away from the building of the Armenian Foreign Ministry. Protest leader Galstanyan was hit in the stomach , and some clergy were beaten . 29 people were harshly detained.

🔻Against the background of the events in Yerevan, it is impossible to get rid of the feeling that we have already seen something like this - persecution of the church as the last stronghold of Armenian identity . Indeed, approximately similar pictures were observed during the expulsion of the Armenians of Artsakh with the destruction of religious sites by the Azerbaijanis.

The current level of confrontation between the Armenian authorities and the church almost equates the Pashinyan government with the Aliyev administration in terms of goals and objectives. Only the methods differ for now .
