A group of armed men from an opposition group stormed a district police headquarters and exchanged gunfire with police in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, early in the morning on July 17, the National Security Service said in a statement.

The statement said the attackers are holding several hostages in the Erebuni police station, adding that “negotiations are under way to release them peacefully.”

The opposition group Founding Parliament issued a statement demanding the release of the group’s leader, Zhirayr Sefilian, who was arrested last month on charges of seeking to overthrow the government by force.

Varuzhan Avetisian, a spokesman for the group, has also announced that "they are starting a rebellion" and an attempt to “overthrow the government” and “release political prisoners.”

1. Radio Free Europe is writing about Armenia now?

Ut oh. That's ominous. Does this mean we are targeting them for a coup also?

From this story they are pushing is about an "opposition group" wanting to over throw the democratically elected government, well, let's just say it is starting to look like a familiar pattern.

People should google Radio Free Europe and radio propaganda and read about it on places like Wilipedia for themselves.
