    '20 DETAINED' AS ARMENIA POLICE BLOCK ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEREVAN

    There have been clashes in the Armenian capital Yerevan between
    police and anti-government protesters who were trying to march on
    the presidential palace.

    The march was blocked by police. Witnesses said around 20 people
    were detained.

    Some protesters were reportedly armed with sticks and firecrackers
    which they threw at police, causing several injuries.

    The march was led by a prominent opposition activist. Back in March,
    Armenia's Constitutional Court rejected complaints that the previous
    month's presidential election had been rigged.

    The vote saw President Sarksyan re-elected to a second term but
    independent monitors said the ballot lacked real competition.
