METSAMOR. - Harboring great respect toward foreign partners,
an Armenian leader should put the interests of his people above
everything. Opposition Heritage Party Chairman Raffi Hovannisian-who is
declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan,
as a result of the presidential election on February 18, but who claims
to be the real winner in the vote-stated this during his meeting with
the voters in Metsamor city, Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informs.
He congratulated the Metsamor residents on their triumph. As per
Hovannisian, even though, and in line with official data, he and
Sargsyan each received 48 percent of the votes in the city, everyone
understands that the power of the people is returning to Metsamor.
As per the ex-presidential candidate, many of the world's most powerful
countries are attempting to comprehend how the residents of Armenia
were able to achieve the triumph of the people.
"Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom I respect very much, [and] US
Secretary of State John Kerry sent their congratulations to Yerevan
in haste. But I said this also during the talk with the Russian
ambassador. Neither Putin nor Kerry nor [European Commission President
Jose Manuel] Barroso should act in such way that the rights of the
residents of Metsamor, Armavir [Region], [and] Armenia are violated.
Let no one give me lessons on American, Western, Russian democracy! I
serve my people," Raffi Hovannisian added.
