Violence broke out between police and protesters in the Armenian
capital, Yerevan, on Monday. Several hundred opposition protesters
rallied in the city, which coincided with Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s state visit to Armenia. Several of the demonstration’s
organizers were detained before the rally began. Protesters tried
to march to the presidential palace, shouting “Putin, go home!” but
police blocked them and pushed them away, saying that the demonstration
was unsanctioned.
