Armenian police detain over 190 protesters in Yerevan

Armenian police detained 196 protesters who were blocking streets in Yerevan as part of civil disobedience actions on Monday morning.

The Interior Ministry said that those detained had failed to comply with police orders.

The demonstrations, which are headed by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, oppose the Armenian government's unilateral land surrender to Azerbaijan and seek Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's removal from power.
