    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT'S WIN 'TAINTED'

    Oman Daily Observer, Sultanate of Oman
    Feb 21 2013

    YEREVAN - About 5,000 flag-waving protesters rallied yesterday against
    Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan's re-election, saying his victory
    was tainted by fraud.

    Supporters of Sarksyan's second-placed rival Raffi Hovannisian filled
    Freedom Square in the centre of the capital Yerevan to condemn what
    they said were uncounted ballots and other violations.

    "Are you ready to stay here long?" Hovannisian asked the crowd. "Are
    you ready to stay here until victory? I'm ready."

    "The constitution should win over fraud," he said, raising a first
    above his head after kneeling to kiss the national flag.

    Many of Hovannisian's supporters vowed to continue their protests. -
