`Hraparak': Raffi Hovannisian chooses path of velvet revolution
Saturday,
February 23
Tens of thousands of Armenian citizens gathered yesterday in Liberty
Square of Yerevan to learn about the details of the meeting between
Raffi Hovannisian and Serzh Sargsyan - the Heritage Party leader Raffi
Hovannisian promised to tell them the details when he left the
presidential residence, `Hraparak' daily writes.
`People were impatient to know what subjects the president and their
candidate discussed and whether Serzh Sargsyan agreed to transfer
power peacefully and, if not, what steps Raffi Hovannisian would take?
Yet prior to R. Hovannisian's speech, protesters heard other speeches
about the situation in Armenia and the possible ways out of it.
In particular, judging from the speech of Nikol Pashinian who was one
of the key figures in the 2008 national movement, it could be assumed
that the movement initiated by Raffi Hovannisian will choose the path
of a velvet revolution in order to avoid incidents that occurred
during the March 1 events. For this reason this velvet revolution
should take place first of all in people's minds and in Liberty
Square,' the daily writes.
