Thousands of Armenians marched through the capital Yerevan on Saturday to commemorate the soldiers killed in a six-week conflict with Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The conflict and the fatalities on the Armenian side have increased pressure on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, whom the opposition accuses of mishandling the conflict by accepting a Russian-brokered ceasefire last month, to resign.
Pashinyan led the march, the first of three days of mourning, and drove up to the Yerablur military cemetery to light incense on the graves of fallen soldiers along with other senior officials.
