YEREVAN, Feb 19 (Reuters) – Armenia’s opposition said it would hold a
rally on Wednesday to protest against what it termed serious violations
in Tuesday’s presidential election.

"There were very serious violations during voting, including
ballot-stuffing, kidnapping and the beating of our representatives at
the polling stations," Arman Musinyan, a spokesman at the campaign
headquarters of opposition challenger Levon Ter-Petrosyan, told
Reuters.

"We’ll definitely hold a rally in the centre of Yerevan tomorrow,"
Musinyan said. (Reporting by Margarita Antidze, writing by Guy
