Live: Pashinyan Rally Marking March 1, 2008 Clashes

A rally, organized by Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan, ostensibly to mark the anniversary of the March 1, 2008 post-presidential protests, kicked off in Yerevan’s Republic Square.

On that day, protesters and police clashed in Yerevan leaving ten dead and hundreds wounded.

Some in Armenia have criticized Pashinyan for exploiting the anniversary to fashion a public show of support for him and his government given continuing calls for him to step down.

Pashinyan has stated that today’s rally is to commemorate the victims of the post-election violence that shook the Armenian capital thirteen years ago.
