Ten members of Armenia’s opposition, including a leader, were arrested
in the capital Yerevan on Wednesday, opposition association Armenian
National Congress said.

Special forces operatives and police surrounded an avenue in the
city center where opposition activists had planned to take so-called
"political strolls" and arrested Armenian National Congress coordinator
Levon Zurabian and another nine opposition members, the Congress
press service told Interfax.

"The police used violence," the press service said.

"Details of the incident will be published later," it said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
