Riot police guarded the entrances to the main state-run universities in Yerevan on Wednesday as over 100 students and other young people demonstrated against official results of the Armenian presidential election for a third consecutive day.
The youths supporting opposition presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian began rallying on Monday outside those universities and urging students to boycott classes in support of a rerun of what they call a rigged election.
Security in and outside the campuses has been tight since then, with university administrations apparently trying to prevent students from joining the protests. The protesters have also been confronted by leaders of student councils loyal to the Armenian government.
