An Armenian protest leader has announced his bid to become the nation’s next Prime Minister after he and his supporters demonstrated against the election of Serzh Sargsyan.
Nikol Pashinyan, leader of the protests, is hoping his bid will be backed by the country’s current president, Armen Sarkisian.
Protests have been occurring since Sargsyan was selected for the role earlier in the month, following him having to step down as the country’s President after 10 years due to Armenian term limits.
