Thousands demonstrate against re-election of Armenian president

About 6,000 people on Wednesday took to the streets of the Armenian capital Yerevan to demonstrate against the re-election of President Serzh Sargsyan, dpa reported. 'We're ready for a fight, a fight until victory,' said former foreign minister and presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian, who came second in Monday's election, with 36.75 per cent of votes. He refused an offer of a meeting with Sargsyan, who gained 58.64 per cent of the vote. The opposition has accused the government of massive vote fraud. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said the elections were 'generally well-administered,' but that there was still a 'blurring of the distinction between the state and the ruling party.'
