Armenian police late Tuesday detained editors of two opposition
newspapers for calling for people to attend a rally on Yerevan’s
central streets, the television channel Erkir-Media reported.
Nikol Pashinyan, chief editor of Armyanskoye Vremya, and Shoger
Matevosyan of Chetvertaya Vlast used loudspeakers to call Armenians
to an opposition rally scheduled for Friday, police officials said.
The rally is due to include Armenia’s first president Levon
Ter-Petrosyan, who said he intended to return to politics after a 10
years of remaining silent on the sidelines.
