Before today's march in commemoration of the ten victims of March
2008 post-election clashes, Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian
gave an open air press conference at Liberty Square in Yerevan.
He promised to do his utmost to exclude repetition of the March 2008
tragic events. Mr Hovannisian also answered journalists' questions
regarding his decision to appeal the results of the February 18
presidential election in the Constitutional Court.
The Heritage leader said he was going to consult over the issue with
people at Saturday's rally in Liberty Square and make his decision
the following day.
"I will announce my decision publically on Sunday, March 3," said
Mr Hovannisian.
The Heritage leader said he has no connection with the parliamentary
hearings initiated by the Heritage faction, Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) and Republican Party of Armenia (HHK). At
the same time, Hovannisian said he did not object to the undertaking as
'the National Assembly is also a platform for waging a fight.'
Speaking about Ruben Hakhverdyan's statement made at Liberty Square
during the Feb. 28 rally, Mr Hovannisian said he did not agree with
the singer's viewpoint though he respects the opinion of every and
each citizen.
"We had better think about what happened in our country, which gave
rise to such an opinion," said the Heritage party leader.
In the end, Mr Hovannisian re-affirmed his commitment to continue the
nation-wide movement, saying 'people should be prepared for long-term
struggle, rather instant solutions.'
Speaking about Serzh Sargsyan at yesterday's rally at Liberty Square,
Ruben Hakhverdyan said 'he had come from the remotest depths of an
Azerbaijani province.' he meant to say when Serzh Sargsyan was living
in Stepanakert, the Nagorno-Karabakh liberation movement had not yet
started and Nagorno-Karabakh was still a part of the Soviet Azerbaijan.
Hovannisian's press conference was followed my a march to the Statue
of Myasnikyan to commemorate the ten people killed during the violent
clashes on March 1, 2008.
