Violent rally in front of the Armenian Foreign Ministry over controversial peace agreement with Azerbaijan.
On 6 April 2026, a violent rally took place in front of the Armenian Foreign Ministry in Yerevan, directed against the controversial peace agreement with Azerbaijan. Protesters expressed anger over the terms of the agreement, which they consider detrimental to Armenia's national interests, and demanded the resignation of the Foreign Minister. The demonstration turned confrontational, with clashes reported between police and protesters. The situation escalated as demonstrators attempted to storm the Foreign Ministry building, leading to the use of crowd control measures by law enforcement.
