Armenia hostage police station

mercredi 3 août 2016 à 02:00

In Armenia, a sort of uprising/protest has a lot of support for the resignation of the president, who is considered corrupt.

I visited Armenia a few years ago. It was a sort of Russian satellite state, but Armenians seemed to appreciate Russia's support against Armenia's principal enemies, Turkey and its ally, Azerbaijan. (Azeris are ethnically closely related to Turks.) The Sassoun region was under Turkish rule 100 years ago, and was subjected to the genocide; no Armenians remain there.
