Armenians protest against ex-president's grip on power An opposition leader and several dozen other protesters were injured Monday in Armenia as thousands of people rallied against a move by the ex-president to maintain a hold on power. Police used stun grenades against protesters who sought to break through a barbed wire cordon in the centre of the capital Yerevan in an effort to get to the parliament building during rallies against former president Serzh Sarkisian.
