    Raffi Hovannisian, who officially finished second in last month's
    presidential election and is now disputing the victory of incumbent
    President Serzh Sargsyan, has vowed to continue his struggle for
    de jure presidency as he again rallied his supporters in Yerevan
    on Tuesday.

    Addressing several thousand people in the Armenian capital's Liberty
    Square, Hovannisian slammed President Sargsyan and two other top
    officials for not accepting his invitation to attend the gathering or
    seeking to meet him otherwise to discuss ways of ending the current
    post-election crisis.

    "Now we have nothing to say [to them], we have to act and we won't
    get diverted from our path," stressed the opposition leader.

    Hovannisian also called on other political forces to participate in
    what he described as 'a resolution of the all-national crisis'. He said
    he had already met with top representatives of the Prosperous Armenia
    Party, Dashnaktsutyun, the Sardarapat movement and was ready to meet
    with the leadership of the opposition Armenian National Congress if
    the latter were willing to have such a meeting.

    Hovannisian announced that he will spend the next two days again
    touring the regions and meeting with representatives of foreign
    diplomatic corps in-between before holding another rally in Yerevan
    on March 8.

    Answering skeptics who insist that he has no action plan, the
    opposition leader promised that they will see a "breakthrough" by
    next Sunday.
