YEREVAN. - Tuesday's day of swearing in was a day of marching in
Armenia's capital city Yerevan. Opposition singer-songwriter Ruben
Hakhverdyan stated this during a press conference on Wednesday, and
added that he and his family did not vote on presidential election day,
since he knew who would be elected, and how.
In his words, those that have gathered around opposition Heritage
Party Chairman, former FM Raffi Hovannisian-who was declared runner-up
to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of
the presidential election that was conducted on February 18, but who
claims to be the real winner in the vote-gathered around him because
they are against the present-day halls of power.
"We have a humanist police chief, without quotation marks, but
tomorrow he could be humanist with quotation marks," Hakhverdyan
said, and noted that Armenia's Chief of Police, Vladimir Gasparyan,
had instructions to not fire upon the people.
And the people "clinched on to Raffi, since he is the decent man from
among them," Ruben Hakhverdyan added.
