Protesters remain camped out in central Yerevan

Opposition members and supporters, who set up a protest camp on France Square in central Yerevan on Sunday, spent the second night there.

The demonstrators say they will not leave until Nikol Pashinyan and his team step down.

The country’s opposition groups launched a mass civil disobedience campaign on Monday morning, blocking streets and street intersections in central Yerevan.

Opposition leader Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a deputy parliament speaker, said peaceful protests would continue in Yerevan and other parts of Armenia from Tuesday morning.
