ArmInfo. The opposition Resistance Movement, demanding the resignation of the current Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, is holding a motor rally from Yerevan to Vanadzor.
The rally started at 10 am local time from the Ashtarok highway. Dozens of cars with the Armenian tricolor moved in a column towards Vanadzor.
It should be noted that the coordinator of the Movement, vice-speaker of the parliament from the "Armenia" opposition bloc, Ishkhan Saghatelyan, said during the rally the night before that in the coming days, disobedience actions would be held in four directions.
"In the coming days, the participants in the action of disobedience" will take the whole of Yerevan. "We will organize a movement first in four groups, then in 8, then in 12, and as a result, on the same day, we will take the whole city … Today we showed that there are no closed streets for us, no closed squares," Saghatelyan said, adding that these days the attention of the international press media is focused on this square, on the events taking place in Yerevan. He noted that 60-70% of the tasks were done. Among the plans for May 7, Saghatelyan mentioned a motor rally to Vanadzor and a large rally there at 1:00pm. "In Yerevan, at 12:00pm, a women's march and a car rally with music will take place, and in the evening (6:00pm-8:00pm) – a cultural program will take place, followed by a rally and a march," Saghatelyan summed up.
It should be noted that on April 17, the head of opposition "I have the honor" parliamentary faction Artur Vanetsyan launched an open-ended action on Freedom Square in Yerevan in defense of Nagorno-Karabakh and demanding the resignation of the current Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and his team. He called on everyone to join his protest action. His initiative was supported by the "I have the honor", "Armenia" opposition factions, as well as the "5165" party. And since May 1, a tent camp of opposition forces has been set up on France Square, demanding the resignation of Pashinyan and his team. Activists of the movement have been spending the sixth night on the street. Traffic is blocked not only along the central roads of Yerevan, but also key regional transport hubs.
