Soldiers dismantled roadblocks and withdrew armored vehicles from main streets in the capital, Yerevan, but remained on guard in case of further anti-government violence. Opposition leader Vazgen Manukyan issued a statement calling Armenian authorities “illegal” and saying President Levon A. Ter-Petrosyan “relied only on crude violence” to maintain order. Troops were deployed in Yerevan on Wednesday after three days of opposition-led demonstrations erupted in violence.
