No, Demirchyan didn't win. The election was still rigged and undemocratic.
The "peaceful" protesters were probably jobless men and women who still can not make ends meet, while Kocharian and all are buying new Benzes for the whole family. They were out there out of frustration, caused by the government's inactivity and indifference. And what was the government's answer? Beating them up.
Yes, it is the transition from communism, and yes, it will take time. But let me tell you that it would go a lot faster if the ministers were not eating public funds, while the monthly pension is what? 3000 drams?
The protestors had not attempted anything to my knowledge. Had they tried to take over, then restraining them would be reasonable, as this obviously does not have general public support. However, going in the crowd and indiscriminately beating up anybody in sight is wrong. And still no answer on your part about the beating of journalists...
