YEREVAN, April 5. All main roads leading into Yerevan were blocked off
Monday by police, according to a high-ranking law enforcement official who
wished to remain anonymous. As reported by a Rosbalt correspondent, the
official maintained that roads leading into the city were cordoned off to
prevent people from attending a meeting of the opposition party National
Unity.

In addition to roads, railway lines were also blocked. The reports have been
confirmed by the television station A1+. The opposition had earlier named
April 9 as the start of a campaign to remove the incumbent government.
