An Armenian opposition leader has said that today's parliamentary
election will bring freedom to the people of Armenia and sovereignty to
the state, Armenia TV reported on 12 May.
"I am proud to be an Armenian citizen, and I am never alone, I am with
you, accompanied by my family and fellow citizens," Armenia TV showed
Raffi Hovhannisyan, leader of the opposition Heritage party, saying as
he cast his vote on 12 May parliamentary election. "I am sure that
beginning today, we will regain freedom for Armenian citizens, dignity
for the nation, sovereignty for our state and our democratic
advantages," he said.
Hovhannisyan said that the Heritage party was collecting facts about
the election process.
"This is being done in the first place to ensure the fairness of the
Armenian election; international observers are doing their job, too,"
he said. "I will speak more comprehensibly tomorrow to present our
opinion when we have the Central Electoral Commission's preliminary
results. As I said the other day, we are sure that this time round - as
an exception - this body will reflect the real picture of the vote in
its final report," Hovhannisyan concluded.
