Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will depart for Brussels on March
14 to attend a summit of the European People's Party (EPP), of which
his ruling Republican Party of Armenia is an observer member.
According to the presidential press service, as part of his visit,
in the Belgian capital President Sargsyan will meet with EPP leader
Wilfried Martens.
This is the second foreign trip to be made by Sargsyan after his
disputed reelection last month. Earlier this week the Armenian leader
paid a two-day working visit to Moscow, Russia, where he met with
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, Sargsyan's opponents continue protesting what they claim
was a rigged election. The candidate who finished second in the poll,
Raffi Hovannisian, is holding a hunger strike while the Constitutional
Court is considering his and another candidate, Andrias Ghukasyan's,
claims against the election outcome.
All leading world powers, including Russia, the United States and
the European Union presidency, have recognized Sargsyan's victory by
congratulating him in separate messages.
