Armenian authorities have led themselves to a stalemate.
Consequently, they must find a way out on their own and settle the
problem by recognizing the real choice of the citizens, Leader of
Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian, who took the second place in the
presidential election on Feb 18, told ArmInfo.
At the rally on March 10 Raffi K. Hovannisian declared a hunger strike
until the day of the president's inauguration - April 9.
Hovannisian said that he declared hunger strike "as a fraud strike,
a fear strike, a lie strike" in the country.
"On February 18 we overcome all these negative phenomena, but the
authorities have not got rid of them yet. They keep denying the public
will. My step is the last haven of the nation-wide movement," he said.
Anyway, he said, a new Armenia will be inaugurated on April 9.
The politician said that the Constitutional Court of Armenia, which
he applied to for nullification of the election result, has got an
opportunity to adopt a fair decision respecting the right and choice
of the people. Before that, the nation-wide movement will do its best
to come closer to its victory in the presidential election of Feb 18.
"No concessions are in question. The people have won and they should
realize and admit that victory," he said.
As for the net steps of his movement, Raffi Hovannisian said that
the public has already consolidated and is waiting for the fruits of
its victory.
Students carrying flags of Armenia and chanting slogans "Hello Raffi,
we are with you" came to the Liberty Square to show their support
to Hovannisian. The politician welcomed the youth. Afterwards, the
students moved to the Yerevan State University to continue their
action in support of the Heritage Party Leader there.
Earlier today, Spokesperson of the Armenian President Armen Arzumanyan
said that on March 10 Vigen Sargsyan, Head of the Presidential
Administration, phoned Raffi Hovannisian to officially invite him to
a meeting.
"Regretfully, Raffi Hovannisian declined the invitation to a meeting
for a detailed and versatile discussion of the existing problems. We
have nothing to do but hope that Hovannisian will soberly assess
the situation and the threats of the de-facto declination of the
invitation to a dialogue," he said.
