Armenian government faces backlash over controversial peace deal with Azerbaijan

Protests erupted in Armenia against the government's decision to hand over territory to Azerbaijan, resulting in injuries and calls for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign. Demonstrations have been ongoing, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, who seeks to replace the premier through rallies and an impeachment vote. However, the opposition's efforts are unlikely to succeed due to a lack of political experience and strategy. The protests have not posed a significant challenge to the government, despite Armenia's strained relations with Russia over support in conflicts with Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
