Presiding over a press conference on his tenth day at Liberty Square,
Raffi K. Hovannisian called out acting president Serzh Sargsyan for
his continuing distortion of the truth and denial of the people's
victory on February 18, 2013.
"It is sad that Mr. Sargsyan persists in deceiving himself,"
Hovannisian said. "He has not yet understood that the Armenian people
no longer recognize de facto rulers. The time for a new Armenia is
fast approaching."
Later in the day, hundreds of citizens gathered at the square to take
part in the third of an increasingly popular series of public forums.
Joined by human rights defender Avetik Ishkhanyan and moderated by
Levon Bagramian, the discussions were led by former deputy speaker
of parliament Karapet Rubinyan and focused on Armenia's transition
into a parliamentary republic.
In the evening, at a cafe behind his bench at Liberty Square,
Hovannisian met with Gunnar Wiegand, the European Union Chief
Negotiator for Association Agreement. They discussed the new
developments in post-election Armenia, and Europe's role in encouraging
true, not merely cosmetic, democracy in the republic.
Tomorrow at noon, Raffi Hovannisian's spokesman Hovsep Khurshudyan
will hold a press conference at Liberty Square.
At 5pm, the next the public forum will be led by former Shushi
commander and leader of the Sardarapat movement Jirair Sefilian.
