    YEREVAN. - The public movement that existed in Armenia on February
    18, the presidential Election Day, is gaining greater momentum;
    this already is a nationwide struggle, opposition Heritage Party
    Vice-Chairman Armen Martirosyan said during a press conference on
    Wednesday.

    Martirosyan expressed a conviction that this struggle will be
    successful, and noted that the fact that not solely capital city
    Yerevan, but also the country's regions became active, is something
    unique.

    "[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] is holding very good meetings; the citizenry
    welcomes these visits, [and] that is why the authorities have resorted
    to provocations," Heritage's official stated.

    He stressed that the opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party, and a
    variety of parties and organizations from the former opposition
    bloc Armenian National Congress have joined the people's struggle,
    and that numerous politicians, public figures, and men and women of
    the arts and letters have expressed their support.

    Armen Martirosyan also noted that the current authorities must accept
    their defeat and, subsequently, amendments should be made in the
    Electoral Code, a new parliamentary election should be conducted,
    and a true coalition government should be formed which, together
    with "President Raffi Hovannisian," should launch radical reforms
    in Armenia.
