Yerevan: Thousands of people rallied in Armenia's capital on Wednesday to protest the election of former president Serzh Sarkisian as prime minister, viewed by the opposition as a power grab. Shouting"Armenia without Serzh", protesters marched through central Yerevan and staged rallies across the city in opposition to the Kremlin-backed Sarkisian who was on Tuesday elected to the post of prime minister after a decade serving as president. During a rally outside Yerevan State University opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan called on students to join the protests in the impoverished ex-Soviet nation. (AFP)
