YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Armenia’s opposition parties on Friday resumed
their campaign of demonstrations demanding the resignation of President
Robert Kocharyan after talks with pro-government figures broke down.
An estimated 7,000 people gathered in central Yerevan for a rally. It
was the latest in a series of massive gatherings that began in
early spring.
Meanwhile, Kocharyan met with President Vladimir Putin for talks
dominated by bilateral trade issues Friday.
