Armenia protest leader addresses parliament before crucial vote

Description

Armenia's hugely popular protest leader Nikol Pashinyan speaks during a nail-biting session of parliament in the capital Yerevan. Pashinyan, the leader of mass protests that forced former president turned prime minister Sarkisian from power in the impoverished South Caucasus nation, is the only candidate for the post of prime minister, but is a handful of votes short of a majority and lacks the crucial support of the ruling party to get elected.
