News - Protesting students block Amiryan and Nalbandyan streets demanding support for Nagorno-Karabakh

Several Armenian students who have gathered in front of the government building demanding to defend Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijani aggression blocked Amiryan Street, by sitting on the road. They also brought benches and placed them in the center of the street the same way they had earlier blocked Tigran Mets Avenue. Later the protesters blocked Nalbandyan Street that also starts from the Republic Square in central Yerevan. Тhough there is heavy police presence in the area, the officers do not interfere. A rally is expected to take place in front of the government building at 7 p.m. today. Nagorno-Karabakh has reached an agreement with Azerbaijan with the mediation of Russian peacekeepers to completely stop the fire from 1 p.m. on Wednesday. An agreement was also reached on the withdrawal of the remaining units and servicemen of the RA Armed Forces from the deployment zone of the Russian peacekeeping troops and the dissolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh armed formations, the complete disarmament of the Defense Army, as well as the withdrawal of heavy equipment and weapons from the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to quickly eliminate them. In addition, on Thursday, the representatives of Artsakh and Azerbaijan will meet in Yevlakh, a city in Azerbaijan located about 100 km northeast of Stepanakert, and the issues of ensuring the security of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians will be discussed.
