Firebrand HAK activist Nikol Pashinyan addressed the crowd assembled
in Yerevan's Freedom Square, calling on them to transform Raffi
Hovannisian's victory into a de jure victory.
Pashinyan told the crowd that contrary to the wishes of the ruling
regime, the citizens of Armenia stand unbowed and unvanquished in
their pursuit of justice and a free Armenia.
He also pointed out, however, that the citizens of Armenia have yet
to become the masters of their own country. Nevertheless, he called
on the crowd to remain defiant and wage a relentless struggle against
those in power.
Pashinyan declared that the election results published by the Central
Electoral Commission do not reflect the people's choice.
He said that the February 18 election once again proves the existence
of an authoritarian regime in Armenia where the authorities conduct
elections merely as a manner to "reproduce".
Pashinyan called on all political forces in Armenia interested in
establishing a legitimate government must assist in the process to
transform the February 18 election victory into a de jure victory and
that they must stand united to defend the choice made by the people.
