    Republican MP: Hovannisian rallying people out of inactivity

    The post-election rallies led by Heritage party leader Raffi
    Hovannisian are the result of inactivity, says Republican MP Hovhannes
    Sahakyan.

    "I think that Raffi Hovannisian is rallying people as he has nothing
    else to do and nowhere else to demonstrate his political
    manifestations," he said.

    The Republican MP finds it pointless rallying some 4000-5000 people at
    Liberty Square and claiming that the Feb. 18 presidential election was
    rigged. The votes of several thousand people cannot make significant
    change since the difference of votes cast for Serzh Sargsyan and Raffi
    Hovannisian was incomparable.

    Human rights activist Vardan Harutyunyan disagreed with the Republican
    MP saying these 4000-5000 people who attend the post-election rallies
    speak of a serious problem in the country.

    "The number of ralliers can be insignificant in Moscow or Madrid, but
    in the case of Armenia this is a huge number," he said.

    Hovhannes Sahakyan is confident that the presidential election was
    fair and transparent and Raffi Hovannisian simply has `to shake hands'
    with the winner [Serzh Sargsyan]. Nor he approves of Hovannisian's
    decision to dispute the election results in the Constitutional Court.
    "The decision should be grounded. If they apply to incite political
    agiotage, I think it is wrong," said the Republican lawmaker.

    "If the election were fair and transparent, people would not take to
    the streets to protest against the vote outcome. The authorities were
    to conduct a free and fair election but they failed to ensure its
    transparency," said Vardan Harutyunyan.
