Mass Protests in Armenia Demand PM's Resignation, Hundreds Detained

TL;DR Summary
Protests demanding the resignation of Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan have blocked main streets in Yerevan and other parts of the country, with 196 people detained. The demonstrations, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, were initially sparked by the government's return of four border villages to Azerbaijan but have since expanded to broader grievances against Pashinyan. The situation is further complicated by recent severe flooding in the Tavush region, resulting in deaths and evacuations.
