Raffi Hovannisian Launches Public Forum Series at Liberty Square
Yerevan--On Day 8 of his hunger strike, Raffi K. Hovannisian called
the first in a series of open-air public forums, aimed at engaging
popular opinion on a variety of political, social, and cultural
issues. The inaugural forum was organized by journalist and MP Nikol
Pashinyan, joined by lecturer Ara Harutyunyan, and moderated by
political activist Levon Bagramian. Hundreds defied the rain and
gathered under umbrellas to listen to the speakers and to debate the
day's topic: the formation of the newly-elected president's
government.
"These discussions are the foundations of a new democracy,"
Hovannisian said, calling on all concerned citizens to join the
ongoing deliberations. He announced that the forums will be organized
daily, at 5pm at Liberty Square, until Thursday -- and will culminate,
on Friday at 6pm, in a major rally at Liberty Square.
Tomorrow's forum will feature former presidential candidate Andreas
Ghukasyan. That will come after Raffi K. Hovannisian press conference,
to take place at 12pm at Liberty Square.
