MOSCOW (Reuters) – Armenian opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan called on people to resume demonstrations from Sunday, Interfax news agency reported.
Armenia, a close ally of Russia, has been rocked by two weeks of anti-government protests against the ruling elite which led on Monday to the resignation of Serzh Sarksyan as prime minister. Sarksyan had previously been president for a decade.
