Armenian protesters scuffled with the police near the border with Azerbaijan late on April 26. Emotions got heated in the village of Kirants as the protesters tried to stop an unmarked vehicle, believing that it was transporting Azerbaijani cartographers due to work on the demarcation agreed between the two countries on April 19. Since then, locals have been blocking the road to protest the border deal. After a protest leader — Bishop Bagrat Galstanian — addressed the crowd, the police allowed a demonstrator to look in the car and see that Armenian cartographers were inside, but no Azerbaijanis.
