A former Armenian foreign minister and six other opposition figures
went on trial in the capital, Yerevan, on Friday on charges of seeking
to overthrow the government during protests in March. Ten people died
when protests against the results of presidential elections turned
violent. The opposition says that the trial of the former foreign
minister, Alexander Arzumanyan, and his co-defendants is politically
motivated and that the government has done little to investigate
allegations of police culpability.
