The Resistance movement demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan resumed its street campaign on Thursday, May 19, with demonstrators blocking streets in the various parts of the Armenian capital of Yerevan.

Protesters also stage rallies in several sections of the city, carrying the flags of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) and chanting songs.

In recent weeks, protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan have taken to the streets to block major roads in the capital Yerevan and call on the population to commit acts of civil disobedience. Pashinian has come under fire after he and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev agreed to start drafting a bilateral peace treaty to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and set up a joint commission on demarcating the borders.
