ARMENIAN opposition leader Nikol Pashinian is calling for a pause in ongoing anti-government protests after the ruling party indicated they would support him in a parliamentary vote next week.

He said “the issue has practically been solved,” telling a rally in Yerevan’s Republic Square that he was calling off demonstrations after a general strike brought the country to a standstill yesterday.

“Kids, you are going to school tomorrow. We are suspending protests and going to have a rest," he said.
