Early in the morning, numerous residents of Syunik gathered at the Shinuheyr intersection, aiming to advance, block the entrances of Syunik, and prevent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan from entering the region. It is noteworthy that Pashinyan is scheduled to visit Syunik today to assess security issues.
