Raffi K. Hovannisian has just completed a two-day regional victory
tour, which began yesterday in Tavush, where exuberant crowds turned
up in town squares to mark the February 18 victory of the Armenian
people.
He was joined en route by Vigen Khachatryan - the former governor of the
Lori region, who has publically dedicated himself to the popular
movement - along with Zaruhi Postanjyan and Styopa Safaryan of the
Heritage party.
In Ijevan, Dilijan, Noyemberyan, Berd, and several stops in between,
Hovannisian vowed to continue his struggle until the people's victory
is registered officially. When confronted with illegal tactics of
police intimidation, Hovannisian was quick to call the chief of police
in Yerevan, demanding that the right of free assembly be immediately
reinstated. As a result, all blockades were lifted, and Hovannisian
continued freely to mark his victory across the land. `Our movement is
unstoppable,' he declared. `The authorities have understood that they
must face the people's verdict.'
On March 7, after an early breakfast meeting with Norbert Lammert,
President of the Bundestag, the parliament of the Federal Republic of
Germany, Hovannisian hit the road again and headed for Talin, then for
Artik, then for repeat visits to Gyumri, Vanadzor, Spitak, and Aparan.
He was fierce as ever as he stirred the impressive crowds to hope and
action. `I have come again,' Hovannisian told a massive crowd in
Gyumri. `And I will come again after this. And with each visit we will
grow stronger. And one day soon we shall see the fruits of our
victory. We shall see a free, democratic, and prospering Armenia.'
On March 8, Raffi Hovannisian will preside over a celebration of
International Women's Day at Liberty Square, where popular singers,
political leaders, and civic activists will converge at 5pm to honor
Armenian mothers, sisters, and daughters.
