Archival photoYEREVAN, May 28.Thousand-strong procession demanding the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan started in Yerevan, RIA Novosti correspondent reports. By tradition, the action began on France Square, where the opposition tent camp has been operating since May 1. Representatives of the clergy and high-ranking retired officers are in the forefront. The procession was preceded by a traditional evening rally on the square. The demonstrators intend to march through the central streets of Yerevan. Earlier, opposition Vice Speaker of Parliament Ishkhan Saghatelyan announced that a nationwide rally would be held on May 28. Mass protests in Armenia demanding Pashinyan's resignation have been going on for more than a month. His opponents believe that he is trying to make new concessions to Azerbaijan on the Karabakh issue during the demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and declare that they intend to stop his plans. Pashinyan's statements about Nagorno-Karabakh became the reason for dissatisfaction. According to the Prime Minister, the international community calls on Yerevan to lower the bar on the issue of the status of the unrecognized republic and warns of the danger of non-recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
