    Thousands march to demand Armenian president resign

    YEREVAN, Armenia - More than 10,000 demonstrators marched yesterday
    to demand the resignation of Armenian President Robert Kocharyan,
    whom they accuse of rigging his re-election last year, and to seek a
    national referendum on his administration.

    Kocharyan dismisses any notion of a "rose revolution" like the one
