At his press conference on Monday, Heritage party Chairman Raffi
Hovannisian ruled out early parliamentary elections in Armenia.
"I made various proposals to Serzh Sargsyan, but he declined. Nothing
like that is on the agenda now," Mr Hovannisian said.
National consent is only possible if de jure constitutional elections
are held. "We must have answers to all the questions. New presidential
elections must be held, when Serzh Sargsyan and Raffi Hovannisian
must give up their rhetoric," he said.
Those involved in the national movement, including the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D), say they have a
serious problem to resolve.
With respect of the Feb. 18 presidential election in Armenia, he
noted that all the members of Armenia's Central Electoral Commission
(CEC) must be severely punished. "Well informed of all the reports,
violence and election frauds, they were unable to prevent that,"
Mr Hovannisian said.
He noted that his campaign headquarters can appeal the presidential
election results within five days after the CEC officially announces
them.
"Many people, including our young supporters Nikol Pashinyan, believe
it should not be done. The Armenian people believed and decided to
replace Armenia's incumbent authorities and president. We can also
reform out judicial system," Mr Hovannisian said.
"If we apply, it will be a moment of justice for the Constitutional
Court," he said.
He is determined to do his best not to disappoint the people. "Let
no one stand in the way of our soldiers, students, because I will
stand beside them," Mr Hovannisian said.
