YEREVAN , May 17 — Police in Armenia today detained nearly 300 opposition supporters who tried to block streets in the capital Yerevan, which has been gripped for a month by anti-government protests.

Arch-foes Armenia and Azerbaijan fought two wars—in 2020 and in the 1990s—over the long-contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
