    STUDENTS KEEP PROTESTING AGAINST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OUTCOME

    ARMINFO
    Wednesday, February 27, 12:52

    Students launched another protest campaign against the presidential
    election result in Yerevan, Wednesday.

    To recall, by the final data of the Central Electoral Commission of
    Armenia Raffi Hovannisian received 36.75% of votes and lost the Feb
    18 presidential election to the incumbent president Serzh Sargsyan,
    who received 58.64% of votes.

    Like the previous two actions, this one also started at the Yerevan
    State University central building, wherefrom the protesting students
    moved to the buildings of the Medical and Agrarian Universities. By
    a peculiar tradition, the protesters called on other students to join
    them, while others demanded them not to hold them from lessons. Some
    universities did not open the gates and doors to the protesters. The
    key slogans of the protesting students are as follows: "We are the
    owners of this country" and "Free, Independent Student!"

    Earlier on Tuesday, the 'student revolution' was held in front of
    the Pedagogical University, the State Medical College, the Sports
    Institute, Academy of Art, V. Bryusov Linguistic University, and the
    Institute of Theater and Cinema.
