According to the Central Electoral Commission, Serzh Sargsyan has won the presidential election with 52 per cent. Levon Ter-Petrosyan was the second.
The rally organized by Ter-Petrosyan and the opposition leaders supporting him gathered a huge crowd once again, the number being around 30,000 if not more. Levon Ter-Petrosyan found the election “normal” and “outrageous”. After the rally the people marched around the centre and came to the Freedom Square for the second part of the rally.

All objective and independent sources — Reuters, AFP, BBC, EurasiaNet, put the number at 15-20,000. The thing is that the Matenadaran squeezes people into a column and makes it seem like there’s more than there actually is.

Onnik you may be right, it took me some effort to distinguish how many there are… but I still think they were much more than 20,000
