YEREVAN: During anti-government protests in Armenia's capital, Yerevan, more than 100 people were detained.
According to state media, protest leaders planned to enter the No. 3 government building and enquire about various agencies' positions on the opposition's draught resolution, which is on the agenda of Parliament's emergency session on June 3, as per reports.
After the police refused to let them into the building, a brawl ensued. According to the report, 111 demonstrators were held on charges of hooliganism.
Weeks of protests and civil disobedience have erupted in Armenia, led by the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation party, which has demanded Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's resignation.
Anti-government protests in Armenia's capital began on May 1 amid fears that Pashinyan was on the verge of making big concessions to Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh area.
