An anti-government protest in Armenia's capital of Yerevan ended peacefully, according to media reports.

The demonstrators left their tent camp in France Square, on Saturday evening, heading toward the residence of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan.

The residence was heavily guarded by law enforcement, and the protesters did not stay long, Sputnik reported.

Protesters chanted "Nikol is a traitor" before listening to an address by Ishkhan Saghatelyan, Vice President of Armenia's National Assembly.

On Saturday, there were no clashes with police, and the protesters returned to their tent camp.

However, Sputnik reported that clashes erupted in France Square between protesters and Armenian police on Friday.

42 people, including 22 police officers, sought medical attention following anti-government protests on Friday, according to the Armenian Health Ministry.

For more than a month, people have expressed their dissatisfaction with Armenia's approach toward the territory, accusing it of lowering the threshold for Nagorno-Karabakh's status. 

Hundreds of people have joined the demonstration in the city of fewer than 60,000 inhabitants. Veterans of the 2020 conflict with Azerbaijan, young people, local officials, and even pastors are among the protests.

In 2020, the decades-long struggle between Azerbaijan and Armenia erupted in the disputed area of Nagorno-Karabakh, killing thousands on both sides.

On his account, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in mid-April that his administration planned to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan shortly, adding that the main aim of the discussions for Yerevan would no longer be to agree on the future status of Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan. It sparked a wave of protests in Armenia, with the opposition demanding Pashinyan's resignation.
