    PROTESTER DRAGGED OUT OF TENT

    Artavazd Vardanyan, who has been staging a hunger strike outside the
    Central Election Commission for a few days now, today was banned from
    erecting a tent in the area.

    At first, pol ice officers demanded that the protester show the
    municipality's permission. Later, when deputy chief of Yerevan Police
    Robert Melkonyan arrived, Vardanyan was dragged out of the tent. The
    tent was removed from the vicinity of the CEC building.

    Artavazd Vardanyan, an adherent of the Sardarapat movement initiative,
    started the hunger strike six days ago, claiming that elections
    never introduce any changes in Armenia. He calls on the society and
    intellectual circles to concentrate their attention on possible ways
    towards creating an alternative regime.

    Members of the initiative are also near the CEC building.
