    March 1 2008

    3/1/2008 1:13:17 AM Saturday, police in Armenia's capital Yerevan
    moved to clear Armenian opposition supporters who have gathered near
    central Yerevan's Freedom Square to protest the contested results of
    February 19 presidential election.

    Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisyan who had the backing of outgoing
    President Robert Kocharian won the election, defeating former President
    Levon Ter-Petrosian. While opposition supporters claim the election
    was rigged, International observers judged the poll in the ex-Soviet
    Caucasus republic to be generally democratic, reports the BBC.
