If Armenia's president really wants to know who is white and who is
black, there is a civilized televised debate for that, and Serzh
Sargsyan can take this opportunity, Vice-Chairman of the Heritage
party, representative of presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian's
campaign headquarters Ruben Hakobyan told journalists on Thursday.
According to him, the last days of the election campaign is marked by
tension triggered by incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan.
The assessments Armenia's incumbent president made at his meeting with
voters in Yerevan's Nubarashen community followed Raffi Hovannisian's
visit to Gyumri, which was evidence of the Armenian president's fears.
`The incumbent president made his statement after [Raffi
Hovannisian's] meeting in Gyumri, which was the largest. And people
came at their own will. I think it was the cause of some tension the
president is feeling now,' Mr Hakobyan said.
He noted that Armenia's authorities are concerned over the voters'
favorable attitude to Raffi Hovannisian.
