Highway Blockade Cuts Short Pashinian Visit To Armenian Border Region

Hundreds of protesters blocked a section of highway near the town of Goris on December 21 in Armenia's southeastern province of Syunik, forcing Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian to cut short a visit to the region. Pashinian has come under fire since agreeing to a Moscow-brokered cease-fire deal with Azerbaijan that took effect in November.
