muscles, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said, adding that
this will not disappear in a couple of weeks.

Manukyan, Stepan Demirchyan, Levon Ter-Petrosyan. They all said that
the elections had been rigged," head of the Caucasus Institute told
reporters on Thursday.
He stressed that he was present at the April 9 rally and saw different
people, even radicals who led everything to a scuffle.
