Protests Erupt in Armenia After Signing of Deal to End Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Armenia, protesters stormed a government building in the capital
Yerevan Monday night following the announcement of an agreement to end
the raging six-week conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Protesters say the
deal, which was signed by the president, does not represent the will of
the Armenian people, and the Armenian prime minister said military
actions in the region are not over yet. The deal came after Azerbaijan
seized control of the second-largest city in Nagorno-Karabakh and after
Azeri forces admitted to shooting down a Russian helicopter, which they
claimed was an accident. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday
Russian peacekeepers will be deployed along the frontline. It is
estimated the conflict has killed at least 1,000 people and displaced
over 100,000, though some say the death toll is much higher.
