LIVE: Yerevan Armenia protests continue following escalation in Azerbaijan despite ceasefire deal

Hundreds of protesters gathered in the center of Yerevan on Wednesday, September 20, calling for Armenia’s military to intervene in Nagorno-Karabakh following dozens of deaths during the recent escalation.

Large protests in Armenia began yesterday after the Azerbaijan side started what it called 'counter-terrorism measures' and military action in the region. The government in Yerevan condemned the 'full-scale aggression', accusing Baku of attacking settlements.

Earlier today Azerbaijan and the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, with the assistance of Russian peacekeepers, reached an agreement on the cessation of hostilities, starting at 13:00 local time (09:00 GMT).

The evacuation of the local population is currently taking place in the region, while a meeting of representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan is also scheduled to take place tomorrow.
