visits from the town of Armavir where many people were waiting for him.
As usual, before addressing the gathered he walked in the streets of
the town, greeted the people and congratulated on victory. Hovannisian
promised to take this victory till the end.
"We will go forward, it is the fight of our flag, our children,"
he said, kissing Armenia's flag.
Raffi Hovannisian welcomed the resignation of Armavir mayor Ruben
Khlghatyan and said the resignations will reach Syunik and tomorrow
Syunik's governor will resign. "Your mayor displayed least fortitude
and resigned, he violated the law and that is why he did it," Heritage
party's leader said.
He said that he will again visit Armavir province but not to
congratulate but implement the victory. The gathered demanded the
resignation of governor of the province.
Speaking to Tert.am a number of residents said they are pleased with
the resignation of the mayor, claiming he should have done it earlier.

Serzh Sargsyan 37,29%.
After Armavir, Raffi Hovannisian visited the town of Metsamor calling
on the people there not to be afraid of anything and get prepared
for the struggle as he cannot do it alone.
"It does not matter whether nine months ago you voted for Heritage,
ARF-D or Prosperous Armenia party. Despite the frauds you believed
in your victory," he said, adding that with its voting Metsamor said
it takes back the power.
Speaking to Tert.am about "Revolution of Hello" one of the Metsamor
residents said he believes in it, while the other said everything
should have been done before the elections, and it is already late now.
In Metsamor Raffi Hovannisian and Serzh sargsyan received equal votes
- 40%.
Later Raffi Hovannisian reached Etchmiadzin where the policemen were
trying to keep public order and calling on people to leave the roads.
Addressing the police Raffi Hovannisian said, "No fear, no threat, open
the roads of the Armenian people. Hence policeman is with us, be sure."
Addressing the present he said the Armenian people won. He also said
that those who are not with them and do not agree with them should
be respected.
