On May 23, oppositionists held a march in Yerevan, calling on the townspeople to join protests.

Today, from early morning, in Yerevan, the Armenian opposition has resumed its disobedience actions, demanding the resignation of Nikol Pashinyan and his government, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, who watched the live broadcast on the "Yerkir.am", has reported.

Opposition supporters have marched from France Square along the central streets of Yerevan. Having reached Vazgen Sargsyan Street, demonstrators blocked the entrances and exits of the country's MFA building, which is located in the government building.
