    PROTESTS MARK ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT INAUGURATION

    EuroNews - France
    April 9, 2008

    Hundreds of people have taken to the streets in Armenia to
    protest against Serge Sarkisyan's inauguration as the country's
    new president. It comes a month after clashes between police and
    anti-government demonstrators left at least eight people dead.

    The protesters claim February's election was rigged and that opposition
    leader Leon Ter-Petrosyan, who is under self-imposed house arrest,
    was the real winner. The government has denied claims it rigged
    the ballot. Sarkysan was declared winner of the vote with around 53
    percent, beating his nearest challenger who polled about 21.5 percent.
