“The vast majority of the 160 people captured yesterday are residents of the Chirac region of Armenia. Now the Chirac people have taken part in the protests, blocking the roads,” Pogosian said.
Other sources have not yet confirmed this information to the Interfax news agency.
Earlier, the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry announced that it was searching for missing soldiers on Tuesday along with Russian peacekeepers, and indicated that a version of their capture was under investigation.
At that time, a protest is taking place on the road connecting Armenia and Sakartvel, whose participants are demanding the resignation of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian, Armenian media reported on Wednesday.
Protesters blocked the road from Gyumri, the capital of the Shirak region, to the town of Bavros near the Sakartwell border, according to reports.
In addition, relatives of missing soldiers in Nagorno-Karabakh have come to the Armenian Defense Ministry in Yerevan and are trying to enter the building.
Last Saturday, the Armenian Defense Ministry reported that Azerbaijani troops had attacked a Nagorno-Karabakh army post in Hadrut district. Azerbaijan, in turn, accused the Armenian soldiers of armed provocation. Yerevan rejected the accusations.
Hostilities took place from Nagorno-Karabakh from September 27 to November 9. The leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia issued a statement on November 9 on a full ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh. About 2,000 Russian peacekeepers were deployed to the region.
