Protesters block Yerevan-Gyumri highway

People in Armenia's Shirak Province on Thursday blocked the Yerevan-Gyumri highway in protest against the Armenian government’s decision to hand over four border villages to Azerbaijan as part of a delimitation deal.

The protesters blocked the road with cars to express solidarity with border residents of Tavush Province, who have been protesting against unilateral territorial concessions to Baku for eight days now and blocking the Yerevan-Tbilisi interstate road.
