Armenia: 20 Gunmen Surrender, Police Station Standoff Over


The standoff involving armed members of a radical opposition group also set off protests that led to unrest in the capital, Yerevan. Police accused the opposition gunmen of killing a second officer Saturday as he sat in a vehicle away from the compound, but Avetisyan denied this. All 20 gunmen inside a police compound in Armenia's capital surrendered Sunday, ending a two-week standoff that left two police officers dead and several wounded on both sides, the security service said. In recent days, four members of the group had surrendered, including two earlier Sunday, and at least seven were wounded. They later seized four members of an ambulance crew, but the last two were allowed to leave Saturday.
