An action of disobedience is taking place in Yerevan, announced on May 9 by its organizer, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan. He called on supporters to gather at Republic Square. Some roads in the Armenian capital are blocked.

Students from Yerevan State University joined the procession. A group of youth with the cry “Get up, student!” goes around different faculties of the university, calling for people to join the strike.

On May 4, Armenians protesting against the return of Karabakh villages to Azerbaijan set out in a procession from the Tavush region to Yerevan. On May 9, Galstanyan called on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign. He later stated that he was discussing with members of the parliamentary opposition the impeachment of the head of the Armenian government. To start the procedure, you need to present your own candidate for prime minister and collect 36 signatures from members of parliament. Now the opposition factions “Hayastan” and “I have the honor” have a total of 35 deputies.
