Thousands Protest Land Deal - Yerevan

Thousands Protest Land Deal - Yerevan

Protersters sit during a mass demonstration against the Armenian government's controversial border-demarcation deal with Azerbaijan in Yerevan, Armenia, on May 15, 2024. Civil disobedience entered another day in Yerevan, where Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the Tavush for the Homeland movement and Primate of the Diocese of Tavush of the Armenian Apostolic Church, told reporters such actions in Armenia will continue tomorrow, the next day, whichever day is convenient. The movement, dubbed "Tavush for the Homeland," originated in Tavush following the announcement of the start of the delimitation/demarcation process with Azerbaijan on April 19. Since then, the residents of Kirants and nearby villages have repeatedly blocked roads in the area for around two weeks to disrupt the delimitation process. The movement has been supported by senior church leadership and a number of opposition political groups. Photo by Anthony Pizzoferrato/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
