Description
Hundreds of Armenians rally in the capital, Yerevan, in a fresh protest against government plans to concede land to the country's historic foe, Azerbaijan. Protest leader and Armenian archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, who has been demanding Prime minister Nikol Pashinyan's resignation, tells the crowd "we gather and express disapproval of one person, the activities of one person." The rally took place near the Opera where where Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was addressing an international conference.
Pashinyan's territorial concessions to Baku -- which he defended as aimed at securing peace with Armenia's arch-foe -- have sparked weeks of protests and demonstrators have blocked major roads in an attempt to force him to change course. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
