An activist of the Armenian opposition movement Founding Parliament was stabbed at the weekend as government loyalists attempted to disrupt a rally held by it in Gyumri.
The group rallied about 300 supporters in Armenia's second largest city in preparation for its upcoming campaign of nonstop protests in Yerevan which it says will be aimed at forcing President Serzh Sarkisian to resign.
The rally got off to a tense start, with a group of thuggish young men heckling speakers and quarreling with the small crowd that gathered in a central city square. Police officers at the scene stood by and looked on until the youths started hurling eggs.
