YEREVAN, May 6 (Itar-Tass) – Armenia’s National Security Service has
held many-hours-long searches in the offices and apartments of two

and former foreign minister Alexander Arzumanian.

Both men are cofounders of the Civic Disobedience movement and they
abstain from the parliamentary election scheduled for May 12.
