[Chapter-delegates] site blocking in Armenia

[Igor Mkrtumyan]

Dear all,
following the declaration of a state of emergency on March 01, 2008, the 
National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia has requested ISOC AM 
(AMTLD Registry and Manager) to temporarily suspend several domain names in 
.am.
The state of emergency was announced because of after election riots causing 
victims, a lot of damage, burned cars and robbed stores. The government 
decided to do that to restore the stability.
