The Armenian people protesting the policy of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the call of priest Bagrat Galstyan have started a mass disobedience rally, Paralel.Az reports.

The people that came to the streets have blocked the main roads.

Traffic has stopped on the capital's Victory bridge, Azatutyun avenue, as well as on the Tbilisi highway. Attempts by the police to open the road proved unsuccessful. The police started detaining the protesters who ignored the demand.

Weapons and ammunition were found on the 6 people detained in Etchmiadzin.

A group of protestors have tried to boycott the arrival of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in front of school No. 7. They were removed from the area by police officers a little later.
