    Armenia

    The Armenian Opposition's procession has been finished in
    Yerevan. Thousands of supporters of the Armenian opposition political
    forces participated in the action. No incidents were registered
    during the event. Specifically, policemen were unusually kind,
    looking smart and smiling at journalists. The reason is a conference
    of the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH), which has
    been opened in Yerevan. Armenian government officials participated
    in the conference as well.

    Vice-Chief of the Yerevan Police Department Robert Melkonyan and Chief
    of the patrol force Valery Hovsipyan coordinated the policemen's
    actions. The demonstrators were crying out "Levon is President",
    "Free and independent Armenia", "Freedom", etc..

    The procession was led by young people with uniforms on, with portraits
    of political prisoners on them.

    The procession was preceded by a rally. Among the speakers were
    participants in the FIDH conference, including FIDH President Souhayr
    Belhassen.
