Today's rally in support of Raffi Hovannisian's so-called'
BAREVolution' kicked off with the presidential candidate announcing
that an authorized rally will take place on February 28.
Hovannisian said that Freedom Square no longer belongs to any one
political party but to all who desire a free and fair Armenia.
The Heritage Party called for unity amongst the people and said that a
difficult process lay ahead but that this was the order of the day.
He said that fear, giving into intimidation and hopelessness weren't
values worthy of the Armenian people and that they should be relegated
to the waste in.
Hovannisian called the movement for positive change in Armenia as a
deluge that would sweep away the dirt, liars and corruption that has
accumulated during the past twenty years.
He said that present-day wasn't the Ottoman Empire nor the Soviet
Union where the people should coil in fear.
`Dear brothers and sisters, you have followed me over the years and
know that I have only respect for those in public service who follow
the law. But I call on all those in public service to stop
photographing civilians in an attempt to spread fear. The people have
tasted freedom and it can no longer be taken away from them,'
Hovannisan stated.
Hovannisian repeated that the citizens of Armenia have awakened to the
fact that they are the masters of their own fate and will no longer
kowtow to those issuing orders from inside the chambers of government
or from passing black cars'
He announced that tomorrow the Central Electoral Commission must
declare its final report regarding the February 18 election. One hour
after their statement, I will give a press conference and offer my
evaluation.
On February 26, Hovannisian said the revolution of love and welcome
will continue.
`I will take that message of peace to all the regions of Armenia - to
Armavir, Metsamor, Etchmiadzin, Masis, Artashat, Ararat, Surenavan,
Areni, Yegheknadzor and Vayk. On February 27, escorted by the police
in mutual respect to Agarak, Meghri, Kajaran, Kapan, Goris, Sisian.'
On February 28 he said the tour will Charentsavan, Nor Hajin, Abovyan,
and then back to Freedom Square to return the power for the people at
a mass rally at 5pm.
He boasted that the Armenian Armed Forces would be turned into the
most capable in the world and spoke of the sacrifices and tribulations
that the Armenian people have experienced.
Hovannisian said he would be walking to the Yerablour Military
Cemeteryto pay homage to all those who have fallen in the defense of
Armenia.
This, he declared, was on the occasion on the holiday marking Soviet Armey day.
Hovannisian said those participating in the rally were welcome to join
him and his family in their visit to the cemetery but that it would be
a peaceful and respectful procession.
