In the wake of Karabkh’s humiliating capitulation to Azerbaijani forces, thousands of protesters in Yerevan, Armenia, have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. After 30 years of struggle, demonstrators have converged on Republic Square to call for Pashinyan’s resignation. After Armenian separatist troops in Nagorno-Karabakh surrendered and agreed to a ceasefire, Azerbaijan paused military activity, signaling that control of the province would return to Baku. Christians of Armenian descent have long asserted their superiority over the region they call Artsakh. Azerbaijan, whose population is predominantly Muslim, also associates its history with its physical location. As they cannot tolerate another nation or faith, the demonstrators are demanding that Armenia side with Artsakh in the conflict. Azerbaijan has denied Armenia’s claims of ethnic cleansing and supports the return of Karabakh’s Armenian population to the country.
