YEREVAN. Feb 21
Ex-Foreign Minister and Heritage opposition party leader Raffi
Hovannisian, who came in second in Armenia's February 18 presidential
election, has said he will celebrate his "victory".
"We all know that the people won on February 18. We invite everyone to
attend tomorrow's rally, during which we will celebrate our victory,"
Hovannisian told his supporters on Freedom Square in central Yerevan
on Thursday. After it, we called on demonstrators (some 1,000 people)
to leave the venue.
The official bulletin of the Dashnaktsutyun Armenian Revolutionary
Federation has reported that Hovannisian met with ARF leaders on
Thursday.
Hovannisian said earlier today that he had met with incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan, who won another five-year term in office, to
discuss "ways out of the current crisis."
After the meeting, Hovannisian urged his supporters to end their
action outside the presidential residence and join a rally on Friday,
when he is going to disclose the details of his meeting with the
president.
Hovannisian earlier disagreed with the election outcome.
