Armenian police detains protesters blocking government building

Armenia’s special police forces have begun to detain protesters who are blocking the government building in Yerevan.

"Cabinet members were able to enter the building in the morning and now our goal is to prevent them from leaving it until [Prime Minister] Nikol Pashinyan announces his resignation," said one of the protest’s organizers Ishkhan Sagatelyan, the leader of the Dashnaktsutyun opposition party.

The situation remains tense as protesters continue to block nearby streets, TASS reported.
