Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS YEREVAN 001207 SIPDIS SENSITIVE DEPT FOR EUR/CACEN, DRL E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PREL, PGOV, PHUM, AM SUBJECT: MAY 21 OPPOSITION RALLY CALM, NO NEW ARRESTS REF: YEREVAN 1190 1. (U) Sensitive But Unclassified. Please treat accordingly. --------------------- LARGE RALLY, BUT CALM --------------------- 2. (SBU) Despite concerns raised by the May 20 preventive detentions (reftel), the May 21 opposition rally attracted roughly 12,000-15,000 participants, proceeded calmly, and was followed by no new arrests. The opposition has called the next rally for Friday, June 4. ------------------------- COMMENT: NO NEWS FOR NOW ------------------------- 3. (SBU) The (relatively) large numbers of protesters notwithstanding, the crowd never displayed the "energy" that opposition leaders are still hoping to generate -- and with the weekend papers filled with yet more articles and editorials on in-fighting and bickering among key opposition leaders, it remains unlikely that they will be able to garner significant support among the population.
