Hundreds of people march across a bridge in Yerevan carrying a huge Armenian flag
THOUSANDS of protesters took to the streets of the Armenian capital Yerevan today morning after talks between the opposition and the acting prime minister were called off.
Protest leader Nikol Pashinian had been expected to sit down for talks with acting Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan to discuss political transition after Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan abruptly stepped down on Monday amid massive anti-government protests.
Mr Karapetyan is an ally of Mr Sargsyan, who ruled Armenia for 10 years. The opposition insists that he should step down soon to make way for a new premier appointed by a new parliament. Today’s talks were supposed to discuss that transition.
