Opposition supporters in Armenia block roads to Iran and Georgia
Yerevan / 02.05.18 / Turan: Opposition supporters blocked interstate roads from Armenia to Georgia and Iran on Wednesday, local media reported. "Today all the people demand one thing: our leader Nikol Pashinyan should become the prime minister, 55 MPs from the Republican Party should accept this," said one of the organizers of the protesters who initiated the blocking of the road to Georgia near the city of Sevan. A similar situation exists on the road connecting Armenia and Iran. On the outskirts of the town of Vayk, local residents drove large trucks and dump trucks, chanting anti-government slogans.
The police do not take forceful actions to unblock the roads. Mass rallies of opposition supporters have been held in Armenia since April 13. Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan resigned on the back of protests.
On May 1, the parliament deputies rejected the candidacy of opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan for the post of prime minister. After that Pashinyan urged his supporters to launch large-scale actions of civil disobedience. -02D-

A member of the Milli Majlis, Zahid Oruj, found a "way out" for Azerbaijan to avoid sanctions from the US Congress. Speaking at the plenary session on Tuesday, he proposed inviting Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan to Baku so that "the road to Azerbaijan for our political enemies and supporters of sanctions would be closed forever."
