Organizers said more than 15,000 took part in the May 9 rally, though police put the number at around 5,000.


Demonstrators also marched to the headquarters of Armenia's National Security Service to protest against the arrest this week of opposition leader and former Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanian on money-laundering charges.
