Serzh Sargsyan has left Moscow for Brussels to meet with the president
of the EPP Wilfred Martens.
Last year the Republican Party and the Heritage Party joined the EPP.
Now leaders of these two members of the EPP, Serzh Sargsyan and
Raffi Hovannisian, are disputing the results of the presidential
election 2013.
The EPP has already congratulated Serzh Sargsyan. Raffi Hovannisian
says he has won the election.
Most probably, Sargsyan and Martens will discuss the post-electoral
situation. It is hard to tell whether Serzh Sargsyan will ask Martens
to facilitate his relations with Raffi Hovannisian. It is interesting
whether Martens will visit his fellow party members on hunger strike.
An active civic movement has started in Armenia which is not only
against the rigged election but also for the sake of the sovereignty
of Armenia. The citizens went on protest at the embassies of the
countries which have recognized the official results of the election.
NGOs have made statements.
The ongoing civic struggle assumes that we do not need foreign
referees. The citizens of Armenia fight for their rights to form
government and other indefeasible rights. This is an undeniable
process and it cannot be ignored.
Armenia needs abrupt, fundamental structural changes so that no leader
of Armenia has to seek support outside Armenia at the expense of
dignity of one~Rs own country and people and talk to one~Rs people with
an open look. This is what the citizens of Armenia are fighting for.
