I am keeping away from the madness to the extent that it's possible to do so, given that I work only a couple blocks away from the epicenter (or, rather, where the epicenter was yesterday; it has moved around a couple times).
There was violence yesterday, but today, from what I could tell, things were peaceful. Of course, it's a very tenuous peace, made possible only because a state of emergency has been declared, major streets have been closed off, and there are visibly armed and alert soldiers stationed throughout downtown Yerevan. So it's hard to be very pleased with the quietness.
Anyone looking for details on what's been going on in Yerevan this weekend should go
here. I don't really have much to add. As an outside observer with no dog in the fight, it's just sad to see: the current government is completely corrupt, the elections weren't even remotely fair, and yet the opposition is rallying behind a candidate whose previous stint as president (back in the '90s) was generally considered quite unproductive.
