Armenia –

The Armenian opposition resumed peaceful protests in Yerevan early on Wednesday morning.

Groups of protesters again blocked a number of streets in the city, including the road leading to the Nor Nork district, to force PM Nikol Pashinyan from office.

The opposition began a large-scale civil disobedience campaign on May 2, blocking key streets and street intersections in the Armenian capital to disrupt traffic and step up pressure on Pashinyan’s government.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
