Public forums fuel debate at Liberty Square
Yerevan--As Raffi K. Hovannisian entered the sixteenth day of his
hunger strike at Liberty Square, the Barevolution series of public
forums continued to attract activist crowds to the heart of the
capital. Led by Stepan Safaryan, secretary general for international
affairs of the Heritage Party, and joined by intellectual Vardan
Hakobyan of the pre-parliament movement, the day's discussions were
moderated by Levon Bagramian.
`The de facto authorities have been truly taken aback by this
movement, which has taken over our republic,' Safaryan said. `They
must now understand that unless they take definitive steps toward the
Armenian people, this situation will devolve into a crisis for the
entire country.'
Earlier in the day, Hovannisian had received a letter from acting
president Serzh Sargsyan. He will respond to it tomorrow, before
taking part in the next public forum, to be led by Petros Makeyan of
the Democratic Fatherland Party and Manvel Gasparyan of the Democratic
Way Party. Both of these parties have joined the Heritage Party and
others to form the Barev Yerevan coalition, which will contest the May
5 Yerevan municipal elections.
