Armenia: Widespread Anti-Government Protests Continue
-----------------------------------------------------

In Armenia, tens of thousands of people protested nationwide Tuesday
after the Parliament failed to elect opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan
as the interim prime minister. The mass protests come amid two weeks of
escalating anti-government and anti-corruption protests in Armenia,
which forced the former prime minister to step down less than two weeks
ago.
