Raffi Hovhannisyan invites to the rally today

“After Serzh Sargsyan failed to show at Liberty Square, which the ruling Republican Party had reserved today for its own victory rally, Raffi Hovannisian led thousands of his supporters on a march to Baghramyan 26. At the presidential palace, acting president Serzh Sargsyan received Hovannisian. After the initial exchange, the presidential coterie requested that all cameras be turned off”, Raffi Hovannisian Campaign Headquarters informs about this.

When Hovannisian left the building, thousands of supporters who had spontaneously gathered along the street outside erupted with chants of: “Ha-yas-tan!” Addressing the fearless crowd, Hovannisian declared that the Armenian people would settle for nothing less than victory. “We are the masters of our constitution, our rights, and our presidency,” he declared.

In the end he said that he would reveal the full details of his meeting with Sargsyan at Liberty Square on Friday (tomorrow) at 5pm, and asked that the crowd disperse peacefully.

Despite this call, Hovannisian’s supporters proceeded to march down Baghramyan Boulevard to return to Liberty Square, where tens of thousands spontaneously gathered to show their determination to have their electoral triumph recognized.

Moved by their grit and strength, Ms. Armenuhi Hovannisian and Armen Martirosyan spoke before this crowd, reiterating the need for unity and perseverance.
