Hundreds marched through Vanadzor today to protest the April 17 election of Serzh Sargsyan as Armenia’s prime minister.

Meanwhile, scores of cabbies drove their taxis around the town in a circle, informing residents of the protest march.

Police, some in plainclothes, monitored the marchers from the sidelines.

The marchers disregarded police requests to stay on the sidewalks.

Note: Today is the ninth day of street protests and rallies calling for the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan as prime minister and an end to Republican Party of Armenia rule.
