Chairman of the Heritage party and one of the presidential candidates
Raffi Hovannisian hopes for free and fair elections in Armenia during
in the past two decades and for de jure democratic results provided
Armenia's society participates in the voting and President Serzh
Sargsyan meets the demands incorporated in the 15-point document.
Although Mr Hovannisian will yet appeal to the people, he told
journalists on Friday that the Heritage party will participate in the
presidential election. "Although they have the right to feel offended
and disappointed, I am calling on them to participate in the voting
because it is only their participation that will enable us to see
changes in the situation," Mr Hovannisian said.
He also intends to submit a 15-point package of demands to Armenia's
president.
According to Mr Hovannisian, President Serzh Sargsyan must order all
the posters of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) to be
removed from public building. Armenia's public sector must not be
involved in the activities of any political party.
Armenia's leader must pledge to punish all the officials regardless
of their party affiliation if they violate Armenia's Constitution,
he said.
Mr Hovannisian demands that the Armenian president stop "intimidating
and persecuting fellow citizens." "The government bodies under his
control must immediately change their approach to civil right,"
he said.
Mr Hovannisian has held meetings with active members of the party.
"But hardly with any explanations, dozens of policemen followed me,
with state funds wasted. I am stating that during the coming 28 days
I do not need any special security measures. You are sending security
agents to video your own fellow citizens instead of guarding the
border a few kilometers away," he said.
He invites Armenia's president to a public debate.
