Armenia protesters seek confidence vote on leader
YEREVAN, Armenia - About 20,000 demonstrators massed in the capital of
ex-Soviet Armenia yesterday to demand the resignation of President Robert
Kocharyan.
Demonstrators answering the call of two opposition parties poured into
Freedom Square.
Participants said they wanted to hold a nationwide confidence vote on
Kocharyan's administration, which remains beset by a failure to resolve a
protracted dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory populated by ethnic
Armenians but assigned to mainly Muslim Azerbaijan in Soviet times.
