Armenia anti-government protests continue

 

Anti-government protests have erupted in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, fueled by anger over Azerbaijan's recent victory against ethnic Armenian separatists in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. These protests have continued for three days, with opposition groups demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The demonstrations come on the heels of peace talks between the two sides. Reports suggest that the ceasefire is holding, although there are concerns about the humanitarian situation in the regional capital, Stepanakert, where displaced people are facing critical conditions.


Azerbaijan has offered amnesty to Karabakh Armenian fighters who agree to lay down their arms, but some units have refused to do so and vow to continue resisting Azerbaijani forces. Meanwhile, Armenia is under pressure to open a humanitarian corridor for Karabakh Armenians who wish to flee to Armenia.


The protests in Yerevan reflect the public's frustration with Prime Minister Pashinyan's handling of the crisis and the perceived betrayal by Russia, a country many Armenians expected support from in the conflict. This issue is deeply emotional for Armenians who view Nagorno-Karabakh as their historic homeland.

  India's Surat: The Hub of Innovation in Lab-Grown Diamonds Surat, known as Diamond City, has been a celebrated hub for diamond polishing in India for decades. Its bustling streets are lined with sellers offering precious gems.

While there has been no official confirmation from either the U.S. or Ukraine, sources familiar with the matter have revealed that Ukraine is expected to receive long-range missiles with a range of up to 190 miles.
