    YEREVAN. - Open sessions of the Citizens' Council will continue;
    on Monday, it will be moderated by Armenia's ex-presidential
    candidate, Andreas Ghukasyan. Opposition Heritage Party leader,
    former FM Raffi Hovannisian-who is declared runner-up to the winner,
    incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential
    election that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the
    real winner in the vote and who declared a hunger strike on March
    10 at capital city Yerevan's Liberty Square-said this during a press
    conference at the square on Monday.

    He informed that the "triumphant rally" of the Armenian people
    will take place on Friday, and a rock music concert will be staged
    on Saturday. Hovannisian also noted that he will be on hand at all
    sessions of the Citizens' Council and, following the firs ten sessions,
    he will sum up the results, analyze them, and present his views.

    As for the signature campaign that is launched at Liberty Square,
    Hovannisian stated that the Armenian citizens had launched this
    campaign, 10,000 people have already signed under it, and if it
    continues in the regions as well, the number of signatories will grow.

    "This is a civil initiative to show that the official falsified
    [election] results have no connection with the people's vote,"
    Hovannisian said.

    To note, open sessions of the Citizens' Council will be convened every
    day at 5pm while Raffi Hovannisian will hold daily press conferences
    at Liberty Square at noon.
