Saturday Summary: A day of unrest continues toward evening
Early this morning law enforcement stormed Liberty Square to break up an ongoing demonstration by supporters of presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
Thousands of oppositionists have held daily rallies there since February 20, the day after Armenia’s presidential election which was determined in favor of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan. The voting day was marred with violence at polling stations and widespread reports of fraud, leading to the protests that have grown in size for the past 10 days. Hundreds of oppositionists, including the former president himself, had set up camp in Liberty Square where they held nightly vigils.
