Protests in Armenia began after it became known about the agreement  reached on April 19 between Yerevan and Baku to begin delimiting the  border with Tavush. On May 9, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, who led  the procession from Tavush to Yerevan, saying that Prime Minister  Pashinyan had failed to govern the state along all lines, called on  the Prime Minister to resign. On May 26, Galstanyan was announced as  a candidate for prime minister of the Republic of Armenia. From 8:00  on May 27, peaceful actions of disobedience began, which, according  to the leaders of the movement, should force the authorities to take  into account the will of the people and leave.

On May 31, the movement held a rally near the building of the  Armenian Foreign Ministry, demanding a meeting with the minister to  comment on recent statements by the leaders of Turkey and Azerbaijan.  The ministry refused to meet with the protesters, and they demanded  to be allowed into the building. There was a collision. According to  the Investigative Committee of Armenia, the protesters threw stones,  containers of water and other objects at the police. 28 protesters  were detained. 15 detainees are currently in a pre-trial detention  center in Yerevan, the rest are in the regions. Among those detained  are member of the initiative council, participant in the 44-day war  David Aristakesyan, ex-Deputy Minister of Agriculture Ashot  Harutyunyan, deacon Daniel Gevorkyan and doctor Nikolai Grigoryan.
