In Armenia, thousands of protesters gathered near the parliament building to demand the prime minister's resignation. There was a heavy security force outside of the Capital in order to make sure protesters were not going to resort to violence. These Nikol Pashinyan has become unpopular in Armenia after he signed a peace deal in November to end fighting with Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Pashinyan argued that the peace deal was the only way to prevent Azerbaijan from overrunning the entire Nagorno-Karabakh region. The region itself is in Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethic Armenian forces since the separatist war that ended in 1994.
