Thousands of opposition supporters gathered in Armenia's capital on Wednesday to protest at a presidential election they say was rigged to give victory to Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisyan.

The protesters, supporters of opposition challenger Levon Ter-Petrosyan, chanted "Levon! Levon!" and "Serzh: leave!." A Reuters reporter at the scene estimated the numbers of protesters at between 15,000 and 20,000.
