    Armenian president endorses opposition leader's house arrest


    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan has effectively endorsed
    opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan's house arrest, opposition
    daily Haykakan Zhamanak has reported.

    The paper was referring to amendments, signed by Kocharyan on 21
    March, to the law on "Security of persons subject to special state
    protection".

    The Armenian opposition had maintained that the country's former
    president, Ter-Petrosyan, was placed under house arrest after
    security forces dispersed the opposition rally in the capital Yerevan
    on 1 March.

    The rally started on 20 February in protest against the results of
    the 19 February presidential polls of which Prime Minister Serzh
    Sargsyan was declared the winner.
