    Armenia complains about misssing flag at Council of Europe

    EREVAN Aug 2 -- Armenia protested Tuesday to the Strasbourg-based
    Council of Europe after its flag disappeared from outside the
    organisation's building last weekend.

    "The Armenian foreign ministry condemns the theft of our national flag
    and demands to know the circumstances surrounding this disappearance
    and that adequate measures be taken in respect of the criminals who
    have carried out this act," it said in a letter to the secretary
    general of the 46-member council.

    The flag vanished Saturday and Armenia's representative on the council
    immediately informed the council's security service and demanded it
    be replaced, the ministry said.

    The council apologised, it said, but referred it to the French police
    who are responsible for security at the site.
