Thousands of Armenians took to the streets in the capital Yerevan on Sunday in a fresh protest against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s concessions to arch foe neighbour Azerbaijan.

The protests began in April, when the Caucasus nation’s government agreed to hand back to Baku territory it had controlled since the 1990s.

On Sunday, several thousand protesters gathered in Yerevan’s central Republic Square, outside government headquarters, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

But Pashinyan’s rule remains unshaken, despite a challenge mounted by influential archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan.
