18:38 ~U 22.03.13
Chairman of the Heritage party and ex-presidential candidate Raffi
Hovannisian's rally has kicked off in Yerevan's Freedom Square.
According to preliminary information, he is expected to present his
final demands, which will then be presented to Armenia's President
Serzh Sargsyan.
Mr Hovannisian and his supporters called the rally "victorious."
On Thursday, Mr Hovannisian submitted a Heritage nomination list
in the forthcoming municipal elections in Yerevan. Heritage party
Vice-Chairman Armen Martirosyan tops the list.
18:26 Policemen ordered Raffi Hovannisian to remove the placards from
the monument to Hovannes Tumanyan.
Vice-Chief of Yerevan Police Department, Colonel Valery Osipyan
approached Mr Hovannisian and demanded that he forbid the young
people. In response, Mr Hovannisian said that the young people
expressed their opinion in such a manner.
"If you say I am violating the law, I will approach them in an hour
and ask them to remove the placards," he said.
19:02 Raffi Hovannisian intends to send two proposals to Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan in a "sealed envelope."
According to Mr Hovannisian, "if Serzh Sargsyan wants to continue
ruling after rigged and anti-constitutional elections..."
He proposed either snap presidential or parliamentary elections in
Armenia this year.
Armenia's election law must be amended first, which will put an end
to the first-past-the-post voting system and grant the voting right
to Armenia's citizens living abroad.
Mr Hovannisian demands that Serzh Sargsyan dismiss the governors
of at least five Armenian regions and appoint persons proposed by
Mr Hovannisian.
"He must appoint executives representing the people and proposed by
Raffi Hovannisian," he said.
According to him, the executives must be appointed at Armenia's
National Security Service, Customs Committee, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, Ministry of Education and Science, Control Chamber, Council
of Justice and Anticorruption Commission.
"This agreement" is to be signed by both sides.
Mr Hovannisian is ready to "meet Serzh Sargsyan half-way" to resolve
the national problem and reform the country, putting an end to
monopolies, injustice, unemployment and emigration.
According to Mr Hovannisian, the period before April 9 is the most
important in Serzh Sargsyan's biography.
19:22 Raffi Hovannisian's father Richard Hovannisian made a speech
at the rally. He is for settling the issue by means of dialogue.
"I should confess I was against his [Raffi Hovannisian's] nomination.
I was sure they would press his and that meant suicide. But I am
happy I was wrong. With your help we have not only shocked Armenia,
but also the Armenian Diaspora," he said.
The Armenian nation needs peace and Mr Richard Hovannisian hopes that
constructive work will be possible due to a dialogue and concessions.
19:25 On behalf of about 30 freedom fighters Raffi Hovannisian read
out a message, beginning with Vazgen Sargsyan's words, "We gave
everything to the Artsakh war and gained pride for that."
The message calls for remembering this keeping this pride and get rid
of affliction, poverty, emigration and "march toward Freedom Square."
