Armenian protest leader urges supporters to block transport links

Yerevan (AFP) – Armenian leader Nikol Pashinyan on Tuesday called on his supporters to launch a campaign of civil disobedience and block key transport links including an airport after he failed in his bid to get elected prime minister.

“From 8:15 am tomorrow all roads should be blocked, I announce a general strike,” Pashinyan told supporters in the capital Yerevan. “A revolution of love and tolerance continues.”
