I also saw footage of the peaceful demonstrators practically an hour before the violence. There was an old man telling his life story to the cameraman and literally carying his life story on him. I don't even want to know if anything happened to that man. Others were singing and dancing on Baghramian, I saw no signs of protestors throwing rocks at anyone as I have read in one report.
As Raffi mentioned the lights were turned off long enough to move the water cannons. I know this since my electricity was turned off too just then, and it came back on before 2am. Meanwhile the cars parked on Byron St received word to go ahead and the countless police were waiting in little alleys to ensure no one got away.
One report says the following "But Kocharian defended the use of force, saying through a spokesman that the opposition actions amounted to `political extremism.' He warned that further attempts to force him into resignation would be
countered in the same way".
Oh I'm CHARMED!!!
On a different note the April issue of Budget Travel has a story on Armenia http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4361859/
