In Armenia, widespread protests have erupted following the government's decision to cede several border areas, including towns in Tavush, to Azerbaijan as part of a peace plan. The protests, described as unprecedented in organization, have seen nearly 100 people detained by police in various locations, including Yerevan, where 17 protestors were detained today. Demonstrators have blocked major roads and strategic points such as the Bagratashen border crossing with Georgia and the Aparan-Vanadzor road.
