Ex-presidential candidate Vardan Sedrakyan does not accept the
presidential election results and demands Serzh Sargsyan's resignation.
He also calls on opposition MPs to resign.
At his meeting with journalists on Thursday he said that, irrespective
of the number of votes cast for individual candidates, "everything
was nothing but mere drawing."
"We have forty days before Serzh Sargsyan's inauguration [on April 9]
to prevent the event and fix a date for a new presidential election,"
he said.
"My demand is Serzh Sargsyan's resignation. If he wants, let his run in
the new presidential election. If he is sure that people are supporting
him, let his hold fair elections and won," Mr Sedrakyan said.
According to him, all the political parties have much to do for
democratic movement.
"In protest, the Heritage MPs must resign from parliament. Then
presidential candidate Hrant Bagratyan must resign. The Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) and the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) must follow them. This must be done in protest
at injustice," he said.
Mr Sedrakyan cannot understand Heritage party Chairman Raffi
Hovannisian's steps. Although Mr Sedrakyan is not going to Freedom
Square, he is for the national movement.
He also intends to participate in the ANC rally scheduled for March 1.
