Armenian police in math trouble

Armenian parliamentary opposition Heritage party youth group marched today and picketed the US embassy in Yerevan calling Obama to follow his campaign pledge and recognise the Armenian Genocide. The action passed without major incidents except...

Armenian police tried to 'ban' the march on the basis that there were 150 people there, thus the need for official sanctioning of the action (according to the law, for any public action with more than 100 people). In reality, there were only 50-60 people there. It took quite some time for the Armenian police to make proper calculations, with the help of journalists.
