ARMENIAN OPPOSITION ACCUSES AUTHORITIES OF TRYING TO SABOTAGE RALLY

Speakers at an unauthorized 4 April rally in Yerevan in support of defeated opposition presidential candidate Stepan Demirchian were forced to use hand-held microphones after traffic police intercepted a lorry transporting amplifiers and other equipment, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau reported. Albert Bazeyan of the opposition Hanrapetutiun Party accused the authorities of trying to sabotage ongoing opposition protests, which, he pledged, will continue until President-elect Robert Kocharian is forced to resign. The opposition has scheduled its next protest demonstration to coincide with Kocharian's inauguration on 9 April. LF
