Armenian election: counting underway as opposition warns of rallies
The count has begun in Armenia's election of its third president.
Exit polls suggest that Armenia's current Prime Minister Serzh
Sarkisyan has won 57 % of the votes.
There were nine candidates, including the country's first president
running for the top position.
More than half of the 3.2 million population cast their votes.
About 14,000 local and international observers have been monitoring
the election.
However, the opposition claims there have been voting irregularities
and intend to hold a protest rally on Wednesday.
