    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Oct 24 2007

    Armenian law-enforcement bodies arrested the oppositionists calling
    people to rally.

    APA reports that editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper
    Nikol Pashinyan, Democratic Fatherland party leader Petros Makeyan,
    Conservative Party leader Mikael Hayrapetyan, editor-in-chief of
    Fourth Power opposition newspaper Shoher Matevosyan and some others
    are among the detainees.

    They delivered leaflets calling people to participate in rallies to
    support Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

    There was a confrontation between the oppositionists and the police.

    20 were injured as a result of it. The detainees were released after
    they gave a written undertaking not to leave the country.

    Ter-Petrosyan's supporters will hold a sanctioned rally in Yerevan
    on October 26.

    Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Stepan Demirchiyan and Aram Sarkisian are expected
    to deliver speech. The ruling party organized a free concert with
    participation of Armenian stars in Yerevan Republic stadium on the
    same day.
