YEREVAN (Thomson Financial) – Tens of thousands of Armenian opposition
activists marched through central Yerevan today on the ninth day of
protests against the presidential election victory of Prime Minister
Serzh Sarkisian.
The march began after another night in which some 2,000 opposition
activists camped on a central square in the Armenian capital, warming
themselves around bonfires and sheltering in dozens of tents.
Protesters are calling for Armenian authorities to annul the result
of the Feb 19 election, which handed victory to Sarkisian over his
opposition challenger Levon Ter-Petrosian.
