Protests are taking place in front of the Armenian parliament and government building.

The reason for this was the statements made by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan in the National Assembly.

Nikol Pashinyan denied what he said about the Armenian side preparing to sign any document.

He wrote about it on his official Facebook page.

During the action held near the parliament building, citizens blocked Bagramyan avenue and traffic was stopped.

In Yerevan, protesters tried to break down the door of the Armenian parliament.

In turn, the police demand the activists to open the road.

2. Two actions are taking place in the city at once: on one, people gather on Baghramyan Avenue in front of the National Assembly building. Another demonstration is taking place in Republic Square.

The protests began after the speech of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan in parliament against the background of the aggravation of the conflict with Azerbaijan. During his speech, Pashinyan said that he was ready to make difficult decisions in order to establish long-term peace in the country. At the same time, he expects that for this many may criticize him and accuse him of betrayal.

A day earlier, on September 13, the opposition also went to a rally in Yerevan demanding the resignation of the prime minister.

3. Azerbaijan on Wednesday called for a cease-fire with Armenia amid fresh border clashes that have caused dozens of casualties on both sides.

As a humanitarian gesture, Baku said it is willing to hand over the bodies of 100 Armenian servicemen killed in fighting over the past two days.

The soldiers “died as a result of … provocation against the territorial integrity” of Azerbaijan on Sept. 12-13, said a statement by Azerbaijan’s State Commission for Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons.

“The International Committee of Red Cross has also been informed about this,” it added.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told parliament on Wednesday that 105 Armenian soldiers had died in the recent flare-up, while the count of Azerbaijani fatalities given by Baku stands at 50.
