YEREVAN, March 2 (Reuters) – The majority of demonstrators in a
standoff with police in Armenia’s capital ended their protest on
Sunday but a few dozen refused to go home and set fire to abandoned
police vehicles, a Reuters reporter said.
Most of the crowd, which numbered about 2,000, headed away from a
square in the Armenian capital where they had been demonstrating after
a message was read out from opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan
urging them to go home. (Reporting by Margarita Antidze; writing by
