    Armenian police late Tuesday detained editors of two opposition
    newspapers for calling for people to attend a rally on Yerevan's
    central streets, the television channel Erkir-Media reported.

    Nikol Pashinyan, chief editor of Armyanskoye Vremya, and Shoger
    Matevosyan of Chetvertaya Vlast used loudspeakers to call Armenians
    to an opposition rally scheduled for Friday, police officials said.

    The rally is due to include Armenia's first president Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan, who said he intended to return to politics after a 10
    years of remaining silent on the sidelines.
