Gegham Manukyan, a member of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation-ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party who just recently announced an indefinite hunger strike demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia, walked to the main government building where he is going to hold his hunger strike.
Manukyan tried to sit on the steps outside the government building and post his banner, but the police did not allow him to do so.
On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities— which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
