Armenian authorities on Sunday detained the head of a public
organization accused of plotting a coup attempt, officials and
activists said.

Zhirair Sefilian, a citizen of Lebanon who heads For Protection of
Liberated Territories, is facing deportation on charges of plotting
to overthrow the government, said Armen Agaian, a leading member of
Sefilian’s group. Agaian rejected the charges.

Sefilian is a veteran of the 1988-1994 war in the disputed enclave
of Nagorny Karabakh.
