Interfax reported that police estimated no more than 4,000 people participated in the peaceful demonstration, while organizers claim 30,000 people attended the rally.
The protest was the latest in a series of demonstrations since last month. Opposition members says Kocharian rigged a presidential runoff in March 2003 to secure a second term in office and is demanding that he either organize a national referendum of confidence in his rule or step down.
Kocharian was in Moscow for talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov during the protest.
