    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.
